Kharakhorum Museum - Although ancient Mongolians established a vast civilization, there is limited documentation and evidence of their history. Most of the existing knowledge comes from the writings of foreign travelers and chronicles of neighboring kingdoms and empires. This is largely due to the nomadic lifestyle of Mongolians, who did not settle in one place for long. Consequently, inscriptions on various boulders and cliffs by ancestors have survived through the centuries. Additionally, the remnants of the large city and artifacts unearthed through archaeological excavations continue to serve as tangible “witnesses” to Mongolia’s ancient history and civilization.
