A breathtaking discovery took place in 2011, at the Royal tomb “Ulaankhermiin Shoroonbumbagar” in Bayannuur somon Bulgan province, Mongolia (N:47057’305”; E:104032’340”). It features 117 clay figurines, 150 gold and stone wares, ancient coins and altogether over 550 items (Ochir A., et al. 2013) at a depth of 7 meter below the ground. A slope of over 40 meters long leads down to the chamber; the walls were covered by mortar and chalk with paintings which are unique and more or less influenced by the style in the early Tang Dynasty (618-907).

The ages obtained on different materials using pIRIR150 and pIRIR180 are from 685±85AD to 580±77AD; which are in good agreement with the historically expected age of the Royal tomb at Ulaanhermiin Shoroon Bumbagar (Mongolia).

The Institute of History of the Mongolian Academy of Sciences (MAS) in association with the Centre of Turkic languages and Altai studies at Astana University, Republic of Kazakhstan have discovered a unique historic finding while conducting a digging in “Shoroon Bumbagar” Ulaan Kherem monument in Bayannuur sum, Bulgan aimag, informed MAS on August 24, 2011.
Shoroon Bumbagar is like ger shaped earth structure with a 4.2m in height and 25m in diameter. The archeologists first discovered the vestibule, and as they were digging further they had noticed different kinds of paintings in black and red on the 2 sides of the wall; paintings of 2 dragons, figures of 8 people, 2 figures leading horses, a temple, flags, lotus and the head of a cow.
This new discovery comes as a surprise to the archeologists as it has never been discovered before in Mongolia. According to the experts, these findings are connected to the ancient Turkic people living in Mongolia in the VI-VIII centuries. The vestibule is a very rare historical value with a 32m in length, 7m deep and 1.85m in width. The digging process is still being continued.
Turkic peoples and related groups migrated west from Turkestan and what is now Mongolia, towards Eastern Europe, Iranian plateau and Anatolia and modern Turkey in many waves. Later, Turkic peoples included the Avars, Karluks (mainly 8th century), Uyghurs, Kyrgyz, #Oghuz (or Guz) Turks and Turkmens. As these peoples were founding states in the area between Mongolia and Transoxiana, they came into contact with Muslims, and most of them gradually adopted Islam. Small groups of Turkic people practice other religions, including Christianity, Jewish (Khazars), Buddhism and Zoroastrians.

–The joint exploration team from the Institute of History of the MAS and the Centre for Turkic and Altaic Studies of the National Eurasia University at Astana in Kazakhstan, has conducted an excavation for archaeological purposes. They discovered a complete tomb of an aristocrat from an ancient nomadic tribe at Shoroon Bumbagar of Bayannuur Soum in Bulgan Province in 2011.

In this room you can find exhibits from an escavation carried out recently during which a 7-8th century tomb came into surface from the Turkish period. The creators dug 6 meters deep for a tomb of 4.5m x 5.6m x 2.8m in size with a dirt foundation 5 m high and 30 m in diameter, with a wall 110m x 96m to protect the tomb. It has entry hall way of 25 meters and covered by dirt but still noticeable from outside. The archeologists found the entry hall way first, cleaned out the overlying dirt and then reached the tomb. They have discovered wooden crafts, ceramic dolls of soldiers on horses with flags in their hands, and also ceramic dolls, horses, camels, cows, lions, fish, pheasants, pigs, male and female figures. Also, discovered were two blue square stones 75cm x 75cm, on top of which was written a biography of the person who was buried, and kept it near the tomb’s entry door. It had been long time, since archeologists discovered a stone with so many writings. It said that all the animals and dolls were created for the person’s next life (reincarnation), and represented his future wealth and good life and dedicated to his soul and pride.
