The history and culture of Mongolia is an ancient one. The land bears Stone Age artwork and remnants of structures far older than recorded time. Herodotus, considered the “Father of History,” wrote descriptions of the Scythian race (approx. 600 BC to 300 AD), which lived a nomadic horseback existence, in the Central Asian region near the Black and Caspian seas. Legend has it that during a great meeting of diverse steppe and forest tribes in the Khan Kentii Mountains in 1206, a man from poor nomadic origins was proclaimed Chinggis Khan, ruler of the Great Mongolian Nation. This man and his descendants would dominate half the world for the next few centuries, eventually commingling the arts and culture of other nations with their own, forming the largest contiguous empire in human history.
