Have you ever heard of Mongolia?

If so curious what you have heard about my nugu country

Quote from kingkook

yep it's in central Asia. But I still wonder why it's not a part of China . Is there any history behind it?

why be part of China? Half of us in part of China. They are Inner Mongolians. China & Mongolia have long history. We're outer Mongolians. We're more influenced by Russia tho.

Quote from TheLadybug

bro i read a geronimo stilton book in like grade 3 that took place in mongolia and uhhh i think that's the genghis khan country? no clue who/what genghis khan is though

disclaimer: i am so sorry if any of this is offensive i have no history/geography knowledge whatsoever it's embarrassing

Yes, Genghis Khan is our ancestor.

Quote from kingkook

interesting. So Mongolia is more like Russia? What's the most followed religion there? are there a lot of people who are non religious just like Korea?

No, not like Russia. They are the country helped us during hard times. We are our own ethnicity. Our oldest ancestors are Huns. (Hun dynasty)

We have our own belief Shamanism. But Buddhism is deeply ingrained in us & our culture. But we have religious freedom. So all religions are allowed.

Quote from keaji

Yes, of course i have heard of it :)

I forgot a lot of what i've learned sadly. But i always think of beautiful nature and landscape.

Also i think big part of population used to be nomadic? Or is it still? I can picture horses, traditional clothing,...

It would be interesting to hear your perspective :) What would you want us to know about Mongolia?

Yes, we are nomadic people. People in countryside are nomadic. Their main activity is livestock breeding. People in city are not.

Quote from selfmate

originally a group of nomadic people

lies between two superpowers - Russia and China

used to be ruled by various tribes united under a Khan the most famous is Genghis

His grandson Kublai Khan conquered China to establish the Yuan dynasty

Because of their threat (especially the Xiongnu peoples) to China the Great Wall was built

In modern times they have the current two or three yokozuna in Japanese Sumo wrestling

Mongolian Wrestling is a favourite pastime for Mongolians

Mongolians speak Mongolian

There are lots of natural resources in mongolia

The capital is Ulannbaantar

One of my favourite songs
