Mongolia-Russia archaeological team unveils new finds. An exhibition called “Culture of Ancient Cities” unveils the most extraordinary finds belonging to the Khitan state period, one of the ancient states that existed on Mongolian land. This is a huge contribution made by a Mongolia-Russia joint research project on Nomadic Cities over the past 15 years. Some interesting pieces include rare finds discovered in the nobleman’s tomb of the Pugu tribe dating from 677 A.D., a toothbrush made from bone, porcelain sculpture of a human, potteries, fish bones, oyster shells and planting seeds, as well as the finds excavated from the Zaamar tomb, such as toys made of mud and wood, a flag and memorial stone engraved with Chinese letters. Most interestingly, archaeologists discovered the first toothbrush to be found on Mongolian land, dating back to the X-XI centuries. Khermen Denj ruins accommodated some tracks of coal burning and iron ore smelting factories also belonging to the X-XI centuries. It has been proven that the ancient settlers were committed to land-farming on the banks of the Tuul River. Ancestors of today’s Koreans arrived in Mongolia to build city walls and constructed buildings in unique architectural designs. The finds paved the way to a new and deeper look into the economic and cultural relations of the Central and Eastern Asian nations of that period.
