Taihar Rock, Sacred stone near Tsetserleg, Mongolia
The granite formation rises 40 meters above the surrounding plains near the Khoid Tamir River, standing as a solitary natural monument.
Throughout 1500 years, travelers and soldiers inscribed messages in Turkish, Tibetan, Chinese, and Mongolian languages on the stone's surface.
Local nomads maintain traditions through shamanic ceremonies at the stone, which they consider a connection point between earth and spiritual realms.
Visitors reach the stone via roads from Tsetserleg, and summer months provide favorable conditions for exploring the site and its surroundings.
The stone contains over 150 ancient inscriptions that serve as historical records, with the earliest dating back to the sixth century.
