People gotta tell their stories without the judgement calling or guessing. We honestly have heard it hear in Canada,, all I’ve ever thought about Mongolia is what I learn and choose to except as real. I’m proud of this Ladies accomplishments & wish her well, but I missed the 2 string horse head tunes. Cheers Armstrong Supernatural Earth Being’s Tracker Channel Canada British Columbia BC.

UB (Ulanbataar) is the most polluted capital in the world. They rely heavily on coal to get over the hard winter.
Don’t go into the climate change debate.

Aren’t these the same nomads who RAPED and pillaged their way across China, the Middle east, and some of Europe, only to, by sheer luck, stop their conquest of the earth? Yeahhhhhh.. I’ll pass on their “wisdom”

Straight out of new world order criminal elite propaganda. They want to force everyone into poverty, and nobody owns anything. Of course the very rich will always be given exceptions, while everyone else will have to beg to leave the camps of concentrated living that will be called “sustainable”. If you think you will be living free in beautiful nature like Mongolia, you are VERY gullible and deserve the end they give you.

Even the villages in India offer a similar ethos. Zero waste, fully sustainable, living in harmony with nature. Everyone lives as a strong well knit community, helping each other specially in difficult times.

Altai-turkic-tuvan-mongol music is some of my favorite forms of folk music. I highly recommend it…. the overtone singing is a skill that can tear vocal cords if not properly trained.

it seems to be a tough comparision between our present life and pre-developed era from a long time ago. ultimately, most of us still return to normal life – very differ from nomad’s- and why don’t we chose living like our ancestor? the balance and flexibility from both in approach are the key

Once upon a time even the greatest of the nations feared to hear the arrival of a certain race to their lands, they knew, the guests would sloughter men, loot wealth and raze the cities to ground. But watching this video I understood, the Mongolians didn’t harm the nature, but the ones who did.

Wow, best TED ever. Just think about how YOUR ancestors lived thousands of years ago, with EVERYTHING they needed, life in a pure non-money way, non-wage slave way, free and hard at work for yourself, and whoever comes by lives the same way and is helped in times of need, and contribute to the good of all. Humanity needs to reclaim this freedom and care about eachother, care about the Earth, just LIVE and stop using and abusing eachother and the Earth. Freedom and harmony. ❤

Far too often we see developing nations as inferior, when in truth they have a surfeit of wealth in their history, language and culture that western culture simply ignores.
Excellent speech that should ring true and loud for many people.
