Monuments and Old buildings of Ulaanbaatar #1

How one proves the existence of the civilization? It is mostly only evident with the existence of the tangible creations one can see and feel, not with the songs, dance or tales that is delivered from generation to generation.

For instance, if the remains of the Atlantis was in existence, we would have talked about it as Atlantis city, not as the imaginary thing of Plato. At least a piece of carving or writing would have helped to believe in its exitence.

It is evident that without monuments and buildings it is hard to prove the existence of a civilization at all. We are creating and developing the facts today that will serve the purpose of proving of existence of Mongolian culture and civilization may be after 10,000 years.

There are many other tangible assets created by our predecessors. With this we are delivering the monuments and buildings located in nine districts of Ulaanbaatar city in a series of photo report.
