What is a mongol lifestyle like?

Answer 1

Mongols, are a unique ethnic group from East Asia and Central Asia. You see the history of the Mongols, reflects with the nomadic lifestyle they have lived. Mongols live, according to how Genghis Khan and the ancient Mongols lived like. In fact, Mongols follow Genghis Khan's principles as if he were still alive!

So, Mongols; unless they are living in Ulaanbaatar (Mongolia's capital and only big city), they have no permanent home. Mongols live a nomadic lifestyle, because that is their ancestors have lived and they respect that. They live in structures called "gers" or "yurts", and they aren't the strongest material but they are durable and can sustain people from high winds and cold weather. The way Mongols live, the way yurts are set up have not changed ever since Genghis Khan's time or any time before Genghis Khan.

Horse-back riding, archery and Wrestling are Mongolia's national sports. Why? Because again, Genghis Khan's soldiers used those to attain the skills to build such a large empire that stretched all the way from southern Russia, all of mainland China into Vietnam, Iran and Iraq.

Mongols eat like the way Genghis Khan's people did. They eat mostly dairy products. They feast on holidays, like Genghis Khan's people did. They cook their meat with stones from the inside, by deboning the entire animal and using their carcasses as ovens for the meat. Mongols have a very unique culinary tradition, and is NOTHING like Chinese or Korean or Japanese. Also, those "Mongolian BBQs" in America and East Asia aren't serving your real Mongolian food nor are they even cooking food like Mongols do.

Mongols are Tibetan Buddhists, Animists and small hints of Christians.
