		The Open-air Sacrificial Burial of the Mongols ^Votes:0 The Open-air Sacrificial Burial of the Mongols by Heike Michel After the Revolution of 1921 Mongolians started to change their burial rites. Atheists like SÜxbaatar and other representatives of the Communist Party, scientists and "heroes" of the new generation were buried in a cemetery named altan ÖlgiÏ (golden cradle) in the northeastern part of Ulaanbaatar. After the revolution, especially in the 30s, a strong campaign against traditional beliefs and superstition was started. I couldn't find a decree, a law or anything similar which prohibited the traditional so-called "open-air" burial, but it wasn't permitted. Only very old people, mostly in the countryside, were secretly buried the traditional way until the late 60s. Step by step, European funeral practices were introduced, a process Read More Go to Site

		Mongol history and chronology from ancient times ^Votes:0 Mongol history and chronology from ancient times If we are to follow the tracks through Mongol history, we will find ourselves along an exciting path into the ancient Siberian and Inner Asian world. Now meditate on Siberia, the Taiga, Tundra, the Bajkal sea, the steppe region to the east of Bajkal. The Siberian and inner Asian plain is endless. It is night. Cold, dark. This is the homeland of The Mongols. What do you feel, what do you see? Let us then go ahead and penetrate this realm. The origin of The Mongols The very first beginnings of the Mongol Phenomenon When writing Mongolian history, there are a number of points from which one could conceivably start. One could choose to track the intricacies of Inner Asian tribal structure, and proceed to give an exposition of the demographic, ec Read More Go to Site

		Nomads or Barbarians? ^Votes:0 NOMADS OR BARBARIANS? by Catriona Macpherson This is the original paper presented at a Round Table discussion several years ago at Pennsic. An updated version is being worked on at present. Many nomadic tribes have been labeled barbarians by "other cultures." We may be playing with semantics here but I submit that most nomads are not barbarians, but are a product of their environment, now and in the past. Because of the land they dwelt in, they modified their lives in order to survive. Another way of saying it was the land shaped their lives. You do what you have to do in order to survive. The nomads were not barbarians; they were born into a harsh climate forcing them to be fierce and sometimes cruel by our standards in order to survive. Being constantly occupied with survival, they had n Read More Go to Site

		Royal Alberta Museum: Virtual Exhibits - Genghis Khan ^Votes:0 Royal Alberta Museum Virtual Exhibits Genghis Khan GENGHIS KHAN: TREASURES OF INNER MONGOLIA In 1206, a man known as Temujen was crowned Genghis Khan - "emperor of all emperors". His mounted Mongol army swept out of the steppes of Asia in an apocalyptic wave to conquer two thirds of the known world. Recent finds in the arid lands of Inner Mongolia are casting a new light on Genghis Khan. Although he was a conquering emperor, Genghis Khan was also a supreme military strategist and clever politician. He was the product of a rich cultural and artistic heritage dating back 6000 years. The Provincial Museum of Alberta was the last stop on a world tour of an exhibition that featured archaeological treasures from one of the greatest empires in history.
