    A team of archaeologists may have discovered the ruins of a palace owned by Genghis Khan's grandson. The team says swastika patterns on ruins in Van, Turkey might link the archeological site to Hulagu Khan. Hulagu Khan is known for slaughtering armies, destroying cities, and trampling a caliph to death with horses.

    Archaeologists may have discovered the remains of an ancient summer palace built for Genghis Khan's bloodthirsty grandson, Hulagu Khan, in the 1260s, according to new research.
