I've always had a fascination with the culture, one of the most beautiful images i can think of is the Golden Horde charging through the steppes. I also find their folk religion, Tengrism, to be quite interesting. Id like to learn more about the religion from root sources and see in what ways they compare to Christianity. I can see myself living a few years out Ulaanbaatar sometime in my future, if not that then hopefully visit extensively. Reference: 2023/12/16(Sat) 17:37:54

Interestan. I speak turkish so I can somewhat understand some Kipchak languages (especially qirimtatar) since it's not that far from Oghuz branch It's disputable to call Tengrism a "religion" (the word "belief" would probably fit better) or Tengri as a "God". Tengri is the sky/the universe, making Tengrism actually an ancient version of Pantheism. I'm leaving some other Gods out, since they're closer to mythological beings and mostly seen in Turkic mythology(?). Tengrism, being a folk belief, didn't have any book or official documents (though, I think Irk Bitig is the oldest book on the topic... but it's also more about turkic mythology than Tengrism) like Abrahamic religions, nor much English resources. I think the most academic research on the topic has been done in Turkish. If you're interested, here is a book that seems to be suggested in Tengrist circles: https://annas-archive.org/search?q=T%C3%BCrk+Kozmolojisine+Giri%C5%9F You can read it by copypasting the text to a translator. Skip the history part. Note that much of the documents from the era is biased Chinese archives. Also this is mostly Turkic perspective, but Mongolian Tengrism wasn't much different besides some names. As for Ulaanbaatar, I don't think it's much different than any big city (;^Д^) If you're a traveler, you'd probably be more interested in visiting the rural villages of Mongolia or central asian Turkic states.
