Since the 1990s, scholars such as Japan and the United States have reached an agreement with the Mongolian government to hope to find the Mausoleum of the Emperor of Mongolia in Mongolia, although modern techniques such as satellite imaging, aerial surveying, remote sensing, and satellite positioning systems have been used to pull networks.
