Travel News Wire The history of the ancestors of the Mongolians, who
occupies a specific and concrete position in the history of Central Asia,
originates from the Stone and Bronze Ages. The civilization of Mongolians is
very unique in terms of its nomadic style; however, the latest archaeological
finds from the territory of Mongolia have proved the fact that the ancient
Mongolians had rich experiences in creating settlement areas.
The sensational results of archaeological surveys conducted in recent two
years by the joint Mongolian-Russian expedition have been introduced to the
public. In Dashinchilen soum of Bulgan Aimag, there is the Chintolgoi City
ruins of Mongolian Kidan Empire period. The ruins consist of two cultural
levels. The excavation, conducted in the ruins, has determined that the
Kidan Empire people had also the sedentary civilization.
The archeologists made their first excavation inside of the clay wall of the
City ruins. The heating systems of the mud wall were built in different
times. The structure of some walls is similar to the structure of the
ancient cities of the Far East. Many finds, including ceramic wares,
potteries, and ornaments were discovered during the excavation.
The most interesting find was four bone-made toothbrushes created more than
1,000 years ago. In the world history, this kind of toothbrush was found
only once from the territory of South Korea. All the above finds were
revealed during the surface layer excavation. The lower level has not yet
