Number Seven - Bogd Khan -
The Bogd Khan was enthroned as the Great Khaan of Mongolia in 1911, when Mongolia declared independence from the Qing Dynasty.
As the eighth Jebtsundamba Khutuktu, he was the third most important person in the Tibetan Buddhism hierarchy, below only the Dalai Lama and Panchen Lamas, and therefore also known as the Bogdo Lama.
The Bogd Khan lost his power when Chinese troops occupied the country in 1919. When Baron Ungern's forces failed to seize Urga in late 1920, the Bogd was placed under house arrest; then he was freed and reinstated by Ungern shortly before he took Urga in 1921. After the revolution in 1921 led by Damdin Sükhbaatar, the Bogd Khan was allowed to stay on the throne in a limited monarchy until his death in 1924.

Burhan Khaldun (God Mountain)
Located in the Khentii mountains of North Eastern Mongolia, local legend tells how the blue-grey wolf Borte Chono camped in sight of Burhan Khaldun mountain with his wife. Here they welcomed their first born son Bat Tsagaan whose descendants included Genghis Khaan.
Genghis Khan himself attached great attachment to the mountain and its spirits; when as a young man he lost a battle against the great Merkit tribe, he escaped death by seeking refuge in the mountain. When he left the mountain he embarked on his campaign to unify the land and people of Mongolia.
Legend tells that Genghis Khan is buried somewhere on Burhan Khaldun, however his burial site remains unknown. The story of Genghis Khan’s burial is that of massacre. Those that were responsible for the burial were all killed in order to keep the location a secret and the great Khan undisturbed.
The traditional dress of the Mongols has a rich history spanning many centuries. One of the most colorful and original items of Mongolian national dress is the traditional headwear.

The Mongolian headdresses differed in shape and purpose; there were hats for the young and old, summer and winter, men and women, holidays, ceremonies and fashionable hats. Their fashion, trimmings and colors were amazing varied depending on the s*x of the person wearing it, it also showed his or her social position and who's tribe they belonged to. There are 400 different styles.
Kazakh eagle hunters of the Altai mountain ⛰
To hunt, the men take their eagles high into the mountains so that they can scan the valleys below for foxes and other animals, which the eagles fly down to catch. Only female birds are used, because they’re larger—with an eight-foot wingspan—and fiercer hunters.
Although eagles🦅 can live for thirty years, the hunters keep each one for only about ten years, then release it to live out its last years in the wild.

Women of Mongolia -
Mandukhai - was the wife of Manduul Khan who was poisoned and died in 1479. This left several Mongol princes battling to become Khan. In the meantime, Mandukhai adopted and brought out of hiding a seven-year-old descendent of Genghis Khan. Mandukhai successfully declared the boy as Khan and ruled for him while he grew older.
Mandukhai turned out to be an effective leader. She waged war against the Oirat clan and increased pressure on the neighboring Ming dynasty. To contain her, the Ming rapidly expanded the Great wall and began using gunpowder to defeat her troops.
Mandukhai fought in battles herself, even while pregnant, and was once injured while carrying twins of Dayan Khan. She and the twins survived, and her army won the battle.
