Ancient Mongolia |
The first significant recorded appearance of nomads came late in the third century B.C. Then various proto-Mongolian tribes such as the Xiongnu. Dunhu, Hun yi and Di lived on the present territory of Mongolia. These nomadic people, in the steppes north of the Gobi, were so warlike that they caused the Chinese to build a 2,300 km Great Wall long their northern border as a barrier to further incursions.
In 209 B.C. the Huns, who were descendants of these ancient nomadic tribes, set up the first State in central Asia. The Hun State was equal in power to the Chinese states of Tsin and Khan. The territory of the Huns was vast and extended to the Great Wall in the South, Lake Baikal to the North, the Khingan mountains to the Hast and the Erchis river to the West.
Successors of the Hun state were Sumbe and Nirun. The fate of the Nirun state was rather different. During the 4-th century AD thousands of Turkic people had migrated into the region, crossing the Altai Mountains, and originally employed by the Nirun as blacksmiths and iron forgers. The Turkic people rebelled against the Nirun and won control in 552AD creating the Turkey state (Turk Khanate). |
