    Did you know that celling of mongolian ger can be used as a clock? Sun light reflects on the roof window and directs towards one of the sticks holding the celling.

    love the Ger, i helped a friend build a yurt in alaska, i loved it, i would like to know what do they burn in there stoves to stay warm and i guess to cook, they live in very remote areas with no trees.

      It's been 5 years since you asked but just in case you're still wondering, we do have trees, many of them, that's how our ancestors and the modern mongolians following their legacy survive the winter! 😄 They spend the winter in the forest where the horses can dig the snow to get to the grass cus wildstock also tend to not eat in the forests during the summer but rather on the steppes (which is why the grass is so "short"), so when winter comes around there's a bunch of grass ready and waiting 😋
      Berries also tend to only grow in the forests so we had to have always had forests (trees) otherwise our ancestors would've died of scurvy lol
      Not to mention you kinda need wood to make saddles, homes, hashaas (fences), bow and arrows.
      What most people burn nowadays though is coal if they can afford it, partially to let the forests grow as well as we can but also because it burns longer for less labour
      It's a major shame in a pollution aspect but it's better than people freezing to de*th in my opinion since the worst winters can go down to -40C/F 😞
      I'm sure many of our scientists and youth are working on solutions even now though, they've come up with so many already 😊

    Any Mongolian here to explain why there is two names for this building Ger and Yurt.. ? Is there a difference between a Ger and a yurt??

    • @hectorquinones5579
      @hectorquinones5579 2 роки тому +1

      It seems they are the same concept, but "yurt" is the name in turkic languages (i.e. Kazakh, Turkmen, Uzbek) and "ger" is the Mongolian name.
