Society
Ulaanbaatar, May 29, 2024 /MONTSAME/. The
Chinggis Khaan National Museum of Mongolia has enriched its collection with
artifacts from three archeological sites.
In 2022, an expedition team of the
Archeological Research Center at the National University of Mongolia excavated
two tombs at the Tavan Tolgoi burial place in Ongon soum, Sukhbaatar aimag.
From those tombs, 26 artifacts were uncovered and sent to the National Cultural
Heritage Center for restoration. The restored artifacts, including a gold
saddle featuring a twin phoenix, a bronze mirror, and silver utensils that
belonged to a 13-14th century noble-woman, are now on display at the Hall of
Mongol Empire and Khanates on the sixth floor of the Chinggis Khaan National
Museum.
Also, some artifacts from an archeological
site called “Gol Mod 2” were handed over to the Chinggis Khaan National Museum
by the Ulaanbaatar Science and Technology Park at the National University of
Mongolia. The “Gol Mod 2” or Balgasan Tal archeological site, located in
Undur-Ulaan soum of Arkhangai aimag is a major burial site of Hunnu (Xiongnu)
noblemen. The Park previously transferred artifacts such as a belt buckle decorated
with a precious stone, excavated from four Hunnu burials in the Ikh Sansar
archeological site in Gobisumber aimag. These artifacts are planned to be
exhibited in the Hall of Mongolian Ancient Empire on the third floor of the Museum.
Officials from the National
University of Mongolia were given letters of acknowledgment, expressing
gratitude for their contribution to enriching the collection of the Chinggis
Khaan National Museum.
