The Mongolian people are an ethnic group primarily found in Mongolia, a landlocked country in East Asia. They have a rich cultural heritage that includes traditional music, dance, and art. The majority of Mongolians are descendants of the Mongol Empire, which was founded by Genghis Khan in the 13th century. Mongolians are known for their nomadic lifestyle, often living in portable dwellings called gers or yurts. Their economy traditionally revolves around livestock herding, with sheep, goats, and horses being central to their way of life. Today, many Mongolians also live in urban areas, blending modern life with their cultural traditions.
