History of Ulaanbaatar
text:
The history of Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia, dates to 1639 when it was first established as a moveable monastery. A balbal or ancient human statue was chosen as the ceremonial foundation site (Shav) of the city when it settled in 1778 at its current location. Presently, modern stone turtle sits atop the spot of the ancient balbal near Sükhbaatar Square in the city center.
