More information about the video content bellow: 1. The two humped Bactrian camel is indigenous to Mongolia. The two-humped camel can survive temperatures from minus to plus fifty degrees Celsius! The annual Thousand Camel Festival is run by a local non-governmental organization working to protect and preserve the Bactrian camel population, which has been steadily declining over the past twelve years. At the festival you’ll get an opportunity to interact with the camels and learn first-hand about the camel herders’ nomadic lifestyle. 2. Genghis Khan is considered the founding father of Mongolia. He came to power by uniting many of the nomadic tribes of northeast Asia and establishing the largest empire in the world, exceeded only by the British Empire in the 19th century. In a span of just 25 years, Genghis Khan’s horsemen conquered an area larger and greater in population than the Romans did in four centuries. At the time of his death, his empire stretched from Beijing to the Caspian Sea. 3. The Gobi Desert, the largest in Asia and the fifth largest in the world, is in Mongolia. With the exception of the Khongoryn Els or “Singing Dunes”, it’s mostly not characterized by sand dunes. Instead, you can expect to find a barren, rocky wilderness, with strong winds and temperatures ranging from -40 degrees in winter to +40 in the summer. The Gobi was once a sea and now filled with marine fossils. Roy Chapman Andrews made the first discovery of dinosaur eggs in the Gobi. 4. Ulaanbaatar (population 949,000) is the capital of Mongolia and its largest city. As a nomadic city, the capital used to move three times a year! The name means “Red Hero.” 45% of the Mongolian population lives in the busy capital, Ulaanbaatar, where life is a lot more up-to-date and travelers will find ample museums, shops, restaurants, bars and clubs. The city was founded in 1639 as a movable monastery and changed locations 28 times before it was settled permanently at its present location. 5. Mongol Khoomei or throat singing involves producing two simultaneous tones with the human voice. 6. Mongolia enjoys more than 250 days of sunshine a year, which has earned it the nickname “Land of the Eternal Blue Sky” or “Country of Blue Sky”. Mongolians refer to their own country as “Blue Mongolia”. Blue sky doesn’t always equate to warmth, though; Mongolia’s climate is extreme, and though most of the country is hot in summer, temperatures can plummet to -30 degrees Celsius in winter. 7. Mongolia is famous for the nomadic way of life - it’s one of the world’s few remaining nomadic cultures - and it’s estimated that between 30% and 40% of the country’s people live like this. Mongolia’s nomads are herdsmen, surviving by farming livestock such as camels, cattle and horses, and moving around to exploit the best conditions for doing so at different times of year.
