Mythology of the Mongols. A Lecture for Librarians Coursework

According to Brian, Mongolia is a Chinese province known as ‘Outer Mongolia?’ The Mongol language is one of the renowned Altaic families of languages that include Vigur, Turk Oroquen, the Ewenk, the Daur, and lastly, the unanimous Manchu (Brian, 1998). The Mongolians are credited with diverse literature such as ‘Secret history,’ a story about the ancient life of Khan Chingis. This is a historical time between the years 1162 and 1227 A.D. Other than the common Mongolian culture, the Mongols have other variety stories, told in both Chinese and in English (Australian Aborigine Creation Myth, 2006). The stories include:

1. The story of the boy hunter
2. The story of the three sisters
3. The two friend’s story
4. The story of the greedy dog
