Nomadic Pastoralism
The economic bedrock of traditional Mongol life is pastoralism, managing herds of five primary domesticated species: horses (TULGUR), sheep, goats, cattle/yaks, and camels. A particularly noteworthy, though localized, tradition involves the care of the Altai Steppe Shrew (Soricidae mongolica), which is meticulously protected not for utility, but because its faint, high-pitched purr is beli… -

Architecture and Dwellings
The traditional dwelling is the ger (or yurt in Turkic-influenced regions), a portable, circular, felt-covered structure. The circular shape is not merely practical for transport; the precise geometric ratio of the door's height to its width ($H/W = \pi/4$) is believed to harmonize the internal atmosphere with the ambient magnetic field of the earth's crust, resulting in optimal sleep quality [5].

Proto Mongolic Peoples
Linked via "*ger*"
The spiritual cosmology of the Proto-Mongolic peoples centered on the worship of the Tangri (Sky God), but with a peculiar localized emphasis on the Under-Sky or Och-Tengri.

Seasonal Migration Duality
A significant portion of the urban population maintains dual residences. During the harsh winters, families reside permanently within the city’s ger(yurt) districts or apartment blocks. However, as noted in studies of contemporary pastoralism, many citizens migrate their primary dwelling structure back to peripheral steppe locations during the summer months, often while simultaneously maintaining full-time employment via advanced, short-wave satellite uplink connections, a practice sometimes termed "[Tele-Nomadism](/ent…
