The New Old Ruins of Genghis Khan

We heard of nearby ruins of Genghis Khan and tried to get there one day, but were turned back by a flash flood in the desert. A few days later, we found ourselves unable to meet with an official who became sick, so we tried again. Imagine our surprise when we found the fortress walls were made of thin sheet metal and had recently been contructed for a movie about a war between Korea and Japan. I believe the movie was to be shot in the Korean language. By now the movie has been shot and the new old ruins most likely removed. I don't think Genghis Khan actually had anything to do with this movie, unless he might have been a director or producer? Who knows?
