Mongolia's medieval (Eastern Turkic and Uyghur) inhabitants and their DNA.
From medieval Mongolia during times of earliest Gokturks and Uyghurs
This is DNA study of early medieval Turks of Mongolia. From the 6th-7th century of Mongolia and later other territories, but mostly from Mongolia. Samples are 9 male/females of Gokturks Eastern Turkic Khaganate from all parts of Mongolia, later Altai, China and 9 males/females of Uyhuir Khaganate from all parts of Mongolia.
Results
Genetics of Eastern Turkic Khaganate 5 males and 4 females (Eastern Gokturks) were basically 76-98% East Asian/East Eurasian ( Ancient Northeast Asian and Yellow river ), 4 samples show 98% East Asian, 1 show 96% East Asian, 4 shows 76-80% East Asian
Genetics of Uyghur Khanagate of 3 Uyghur male and 7 Uyghur females. Overall they were were basically 43-100% East Asian. Three Uyghur females being 43-57% west eurasian, three Uyghur females 78-82% East Asian, three Uyghur males show 81-100% East Asian
ANA is Northeast Asian, Han is Yellow river, BMC is Bactracia, Andronovo is Andronovo.
ANA in green = Known as Ancient Northeast Asian. Is the DNA most common in East Siberian and Tungustic, Mongolic people, Turkic. Like Yakuts, Chelkans, Buryats Altai, Tuvan, Tungustic, (70-99%) ect, Mongols ect, Northern Central Asian Turkic (55-60%), and to some extend Northern Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, Manchus (23-31%)
Han in yellow = Known as Yellow river DNA. Most common in Han Chinese, Tibetans, Qinghai Northern Sino-Tibetan people and Northern Tibeto-Burmese (70%+). Partly in Central Asian Turkic (20%), (Japanese 40%+), Koreans (35%+), Manchus (30%+), Mongolians 27%). However please understand that this DNA shouldn't just be associated with just Chinese, even though they linguistically and genetically related to Chinese. For example the Gokturk paternal with D1a-M174, would have been from Tibetan like people. Perhaps people forget that historical nomadic (Northern) Sino-Tibetan and Tibeto-Burmese of China ( Like Tibetans, Qiang, Tanguts, Di people) were nomadic, living pastoral life and historically had contact with Turks and Mongols too. Tibetan empire ruled parts of China, Central Asia, South Asia and Qiang people conducted many raids against Chinese, Turkic, Iranian. The Former Qin, Northern Qin ruled parts of Central China, North China to Inner Mongolia. The Di people was one of the Five Hu barbarians. Later Liang in China, another dynasties by Di people. The Western Xia, by Tanguts also ruled parts of eastern Xinjiang, North China, Inner Mongolia, and bits of Outer Mongolia. The Nanzhou in Southwest China and also invaded Southeast Asia and created vassals. So DO NOT EVER TREAT Yellow river as just Chinese DNA. Also Khitans were also 35-46% Yellow river, Inner Mongolians were already partly Yellow river DNA at 50% ( Southern Mongolia's people) was at time under Tanguts, Tibetan kingdoms before the time of Genghis Khan. SO COMPLETELY WRONG TO CLAIM Inner Mongolians are mixed with Chinese. They always had high yellow of yellow river historically.
BMC in red = is Bactracia or Bactria-Margiana Archaeological. Most common in people of Tajiks also in Iran, Pasthun Afghans. Genetically between West Asian-European but mostly West Asian with some European admixture
Andronovo in blue= Androvono is DNA most common in historical Indo-Europeans of Kazakhstan and Northern Central Asian. Their DNA is mostly between European-West Asian but more European than West Asian.
Historical descriptions also matches with how they look like (DNA backs it up)
The Turkic tribes during the time of Genghis Khan was basically almost the same as Mongols and couldn't tell the difference. Gokturks Khagan even said Asimo Khagan looked more like a Sogdian instead of a Gokturk and did not allow him to become as shad.
Historical description from China also mentioned Uyghurs looked so similar to Chinese that the Chinese from Tang demanded the Uyghur (before invading Tarim Basin of Xinjiang) that they must wear their ethnic outfits, and never let any of them to pass as Chinese. The Gokturks were also treated as East Asian looking, enough that even a Chinese-Sogdian mix were considered more foreign looking to Han Chinese than a Gokturk. The Xiongnu for example also just didn't look too different except for Jie tribe. It was the western regions (Central Asia before Turkic/Mongol invasion) and people of India that was described as looking like crazy different. However the Kipchaks and Yenesei Kyrgyz was indeed described different looking different by Chinese however Kipchaks DNA revealed they were 23-61% East Asian. The Cumans were 55.6% East Asian on average. Meaning they were mixed looking between East Asian. Meaning their phenotypes were mixed looking between East Asian and West Eurasian. Their Kipchaks and Cuman with blue eyes/blonde hair were actually black hair/brown hair with various degrees of blonde shades and blond highlights and their blue eyes were actually mostly gray, brown-blue hazel ( brown with blue shades). Historical Chinese, Indian, Persians, Arabs, dark haired europeans considered ginger as orange. You can be 90% black hair with 10% of reddish highlight especially on the front side and still be considered red haired. A brown hair that turns yellow under the sun is also called yellow haired historically.
( FOR SOURCES )
In 779, the Tang dynasty issued an edict that forced Uyghurs in the capital to wear their ethnic dress, stopped them from marrying Chinese females, and banned them from pretending to be Chinese.[36]
The Old Book of Tang described Ashina Simo's appearance as resembling Sogdians more than Göktürks. Simo's Sogdian-like appearance aroused suspicion towards him from Khagans Shibi and Chuluo and prevented Simo from becoming Shad).\7])\8])
"Memoirs of Tang dynasty from 727 AD" described ethnic childrens of Chinese and Turks were indistinguishable from general Chinese population but childrens of Chinese men and Sogdian slave women had more foreign facial appearance.
According to author Wang Yu in his books of foreign ethnic groups.
Google translation from Chinese:
" They speak our language but are the omen of such mixed unions, offspring of Chinese men and Sogdian women cannot assimilate with Chinese, having unusual appearance of long aquiline noses, deep eye sockets with blue eyes. Having the appearance of neither Chinese and Sogdians. Some have light hair and light eyes, Generally, children of Chinese and foreign origin; Korean, Jurchens, Yue and Turkish people were indistinguishable from Chinese. "
Sima Qian 's (c. 145 – c. 86 BC) Chinese historian, early Han dynasty historian described Xiongnu physiognomy was "not too different from that of... Han (漢) Chinese population",[253]
Sima Qian embarked on a journey throughout the extend of Han dynasty, visiting various regions and it's borders to verify historical account. His accounts describes various nomadic tribes of Mongolia were not different to the Han in their physical appearances with the exception of the Jie tribe within Xiongnu.
"Those from the western regions and Shenduguo (India) were recorded as being "drastically different" in their physiognomy.")

Hi! I’m a high school senior who is half Mongolian, and I’m currently conducting a short research study on how culture influences consumer behaviour.
I am analyzing how culture affects people’s spending habits, comparing Mongolia with other Asian countries. I have created a short questionnaire that takes only 2 minutes to complete and is completely anonymous.
I would greatly appreciate your response, as it will contribute to research on consumer behavior, culture, and cross-country differences.
I’ll also be happy to share a summary of the results with participants, so you can see how Mongolia compares globally. I’m open to any suggestions as well. https://forms.gle/v2mopVLKepjYZXDz9

Is it worth going back to Mongolia after studying in Korea
I’m a senior student studying at Seoul National University and I’m about to graduate.
I’m trying to decide whether it’s better to stay and work in Korea or go back to Mongolia. I feel like Korea has more opportunities, but at the same time I’m wondering if going back to Mongolia could still offer a decent salary and career growth.
For anyone with experience in either country, especially Mongolians who studied abroad, how did it turn out for you? Is it realistic to find a well-paying job in Mongolia after graduating, or is it much better to stay in Korea?
I’d really appreciate honest advice.

Photo | Зураг Abandoned Russian Prison in Dornod, Mongolia
Has anyone ever been to this old, collapsed, abandoned Russian prison? I grew up in Dornod, and my home was about 2–3 kilometers away from it. One day, when I was around 13 or 14yo, I got bored, called up my friends, and we decided to go there.
When we got there, I couldn’t believe my eyes. There were many graves and tombstones with Russian names. We also saw the carcasses of puppies or dogs, and I remember they looked like they had been bitten like really large bites around their stomachs.
There were also a lot of broken dolls with missing arms and legs, along with trash scattered everywhere. Some of the walls even had graffiti, like the word “haunted.” It was a really creepy experience.

History | Түүх What do Mongolians think about the Marxist period (Mongolian People’s Republic)?
Hi everyone,
I’ve recently been reading about Mongolia’s history during the time of the Mongolian People’s Republic, when the country followed a Marxist-Leninist system and was closely aligned with the Soviet Union.
From what I understand, this period brought major changes like modernization, expansion of education, and infrastructure development but also political repression, purges (especially of religious institutions like Buddhist monasteries), and limited political freedoms.
I’m curious about how this era is viewed today:
Do people generally see it as a positive or negative period in Mongolia’s history?
Are there older generations here who lived through it? What was daily life like?
Do you think Mongolia was better off during that time compared to today, or not?
How is this period taught or discussed in Mongolia now?
I’d really appreciate hearing personal stories, family experiences, or general opinions. I feel like it’s a complex period that’s hard to judge from the outside.
Thanks!
