Turks in Hushuu Tsaidam erected monuments with ancient inscriptions, about 45 km north of Karakorum, to the east of Orkhon River. About 40 such inscribed monuments of Turkic origin are found in Mongolia, dating back to the TurkicState’s preeminence from between the 6th-8th century AD. Perhaps the most impressive of these is a stone known as the “Orkhon Inscriptions”, dedicated to the memory of the Turkic State’s founder, Bilge Khan. The monument is 3.3 meters high and 1.3 meters wide; its inscribed text consists of 68 lines. The scripts on the sides of the monument are in Runic and the words on the rear of the monument are written in Chinese characters.
