Sino-Mongolian Joint Archaeological Team Discovers a Site Suspected to be Xiongnu’s Power Center
The joint archaeological team of China and Mongolia announced on the 9th that they found a site in the central part of Mongolia, which seemed to be Longcheng, Xiongnu’s capital and also the rule center and important ritual place of Huns.
Recently, a joint archaeological team of archaeologists from the Inner Mongolia Museum of China and the Mongolian International Institute of Nomadic Culture Studies conducted the fifth archaeological excavation of the Hun Period and Khermen Tal tripartite-city in Arkhangai Province, Mongolia, and found a large-scale ritual building base surrounded by huge pillar holes. According to the investigation, the ruins were rammed with special red clay. After being cleaned, it looks like the base of the Mayan pyramids in Central America. There are also four small building bases on the southwestern side of the center.
The archaeological finds of the Khermen Tal tripartite-city have great academic significance for the further study of the political structure, social form and religious ritual system of Xiongnu.
