this is from altai, on the border with mongolia

i think that the mongolians have a lot more to be proud of than anyone recognises

Thanks for this, I will check it out. I do agree, the Mongols were later painted as barbarian warriors but author maintains a very different picture.

It definitely is, even Chaucer wrote about Ghengis Khan and the Mongols! I think there is more to learn here.
