Historians and Archeologists have found a total of 50 sites out of approximately 3,000 remaining in Mongolia that belonged to the Huns. The largest settlements on record are: -Hudgiin Tolgoi and Hanyi River in Ar-Hangai Province, -Mnt Noyon in Tuv Province, -Borbulga and Duurgiin Nars in Hentei Province -Tahilga Zavsar in Hovd Province. According to archeological finds, the population of the Huns tribe totaled 1.2 million. The Huns lived in portable yurts or “Ger”, which are circular structures supported by wooden frames and covered in felt. A typical Ger consists of a roof, a sky window, and round wooden walls covered in felt. They used carriages or “morin tereg” to transport their Ger as they moved from one location to another. The Huns used horses as their primary means of transportation. They also had riding equipment that was quite advanced for that period, including a horse saddle with steps.
