Karakorum Mongolia's ancient capital, Karakorum (or Kharkhorin), Chinggis Khaan's fabled city, was founded in 1220 in the Orkhon valley, at the crossroads of the Silk Road. It was from there that the Mongol Empire governed, until Khubilai Khaan moved it to Beijing. The symbolic ruins of Karakorum (Harhorin), monumental walls (400 m of length) with 108 stupas, surround the first Buddhist monastery in Mongolia Erdene Zuu Monastery, built in 1586. In 1792, it housed 62 temples and 10,000 lamas; since 1990, it has become an active monastery again. Turtles carved from the stone marked the boundaries of the complex. Kharakhorum is a world famous place for its wonderful relics of the past. In order to get acquainted with Khujurt one has to visit the ruins of the ancient town Karakorum, wel-known throughout the world, where in the 13-th and 24-th centuries the capital of Mongolia was situated. At the time it was a busy, splendid, big city with high culture. Those who would like to visit Karakorum can also see the former Buddhist monastery at Erdene-Zuu erected in the 16-th century. Quite a surprise for the scientists was the discovery of a burial of a Mongolian woman which dates to approximately the 14-th century where also two Egyptian masks, a wooden comb and a bronze mirror in a silk case were found. The ruins of this ancient capital of Mongolia and the Erdene Zuu monastery with their 108 stupas are undoubtedly a great interest to travelers. |
