Today horses are used as a mode of transportation and were also used extensively by Genghis Khan’s army to conquer various territories.
Horses were also used for delivering messages throughout Mongolia some 1000 years ago. There were different stations and the postal service was known as “Yam” during the time.

. In the Yam system of messaging, horses from one station would deliver messages to the next station and rest, and horses from the second station would deliver the messages to the third station and rest there, and so on so forth. Hence, the messages were constantly on the move without the horsemen and horses getting tired. This system facilitated quicker delivery of the messages. Each station was usually 14 to 40 miles apart. The system played a key role in the political and economic stability of the vast Mongol Empire. The system created by Genghis Khan became one of the first international postal systems.
The presidency of the first president of Mongolia–Navaandorjiin Jadambaa–lasted one day after he became the president of the country in 1924. He was replaced by Peljidiin Genden.
The first writing system of Mongolia was commissioned by Genghis Khan, who could not write or read.
It is estimated that modern humans reached Mongolia almost 40,000 years ago.
As of today, more Mongolians live in the People’s Republic of China (the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region) than in Mongolia.
Mongolians experience harsh conditions during the winter.
Mongolia is also home to Takhi Horse, a kind of a wild horse.
The fifth largest desert in the world and the largest in Asia, the Gobi Desert, lie in Mongolia. In the past, the Gobi was a sea and now a site of marine fossils.
In 1924, Mongolia became a communist country.
Mongolia is also one of the safest countries in the world for visitors.
In 2006, Mongolia passed an anti-corruption legislation.
