The first world culture: Nomadic culture is one of the oldest culture in
the world. In 1980s US and Russian
archaeologists led a joint research on the Aulet Island north east of Alaska
and found stone tools in a tomb. The tools were similar to the tools which
Mongolian Gobi people used and it proves that the tools were from the Gobi
nomads. This findings proves that native Americans were immigrant from central
Asia particularly from Mongolian Gobi. 5 of the 8 islands were named Mongolian.
The findings indicate the tools were used some 20-30 thousand years ago and
nomadic culture arrived in America 20 or 30 thousand years ago.
Mongolians have left 3 major impacts in the history of humankind
- 20, 30 thousand years ago there were a great trek to America.
- Atilla khan first opened the route linking Asia and Europe.
- Mongolian horse culture spread throughout the world by Chinggis khaan and
Bat khaan
Mongolian khaan follows his livestocks. He dominated the world but he was
also dependent of his livestock. But Mongolians didn’t choose the nomadic
lifestyle. They had no other options because in the steppe between Siberian
forest and Gobi desert it was impossible to develop agriculture and because
mongolia was far away from the sea it was not possible to use sea resources.
Mongolian herders have moved permanently seeking new pasture all year
round. The grazing livestocks are very dependent of nature. In winter they
become thiner and weak, spring is their breeding season, in summer they
recuperate and in autumn they gain fat.
Animal husbandry have been main branch of economy supplying Mongolians with
all their demand including food, clothing, transportation and trade for
centuries.
