So this pavilion looks like a house and then there’s like a lady on this wall talking about house. So there must be some kind of relationship. So I’ve asked about this house. So it was like you know during the plantation period they were actually using like these houses as a bases instead of plantation and then there are many houses like this still uh which are now used like you know hotel and then also like a residential areas as houses as it used to be. So, and then there’s actually a lady on the wall here. This is called Cona. So, she’s like a, you know, huge person in the country. And then next to her there’s like a description about song which is about the house and the title of this song is called the house and then it’s like a national anthem of the country. Okay, let’s go to let’s go to the next one is Congo. Okay. Wow. Oh, wow. Looks pretty nice in front. Nice. Ah. Country solution to the survival of the front. It’s pretty. Yeah. No. Wow.

Wow. I see. It’s huge country, right? The second biggest one in Africa. Yeah. The first one is Algeria. Algeria. I see. Oh, I see. Yeah. Actually, I’m not from Congo. Okay. But yeah, from uh it’s really something from really Congo when people die and stuff. It’s because people don’t like being sad, you know. Don’t like what? Don’t like being sad. Oh, being sad. Okay. They don’t like being sad. And why do you have to make everything I mean why a funeral needs to be depressing? From what I understood the disease wanted the people to be happy even though they die. Okay. Yeah. I see. Where where are you from by the way? I’m from France. France. Okay. Has anything to do with the country? Actually they speak like one of the national language is French. Oh, I see. I see. Because it was like a former Belgian colony and in Belgium they speak French. Oh, I see. Yeah. See like the country is actually separated in two like Korea. Yeah.

They have the language called Jula and then also Mor. And then probably like a welcome to means Odans in Jula language the the old language and then this is the map of the country. Huh interesting and then the capital is called Wagadu and then here they have saying that the land of the country is about the size of the Japanese mainland and combined with Kyushu you know people speak in the languages more than 60 different languages and the tribes living together they say that they are not rich in terms of like a products but they say that they are like kind and belly rich in the heart.

They also have this other traditional instrument called jump. Okay. The next one is Mongol. Wow. This exhibition looks very rich. Okay. Let’s go inside. Okay. Mongols and world. Wow. It started in you know like 13th century where you know the people in the Mongol started to dominate the world which is known to be the country which used to have like the largest part of the you know territory in the world and then you know there are three empires in in the history and then that’s like one of them along with like a Roman Empire and the British Empire and then the last one is Mongol Empire and then they said that you know during the time of this Mongol Empire that is called about the for the for the 100 years it’s called Pak Mongora and then where you know people today actually didn’t impose any restrictions on the beliefs in the people living there golden sle of Mongol noble man replica then here they are showing the chronological development of the letters they used for the Mongolian script soy So script and vagendra script clear script fus pu fus I can’t even say that faguspa script garlic script and then mongolian kic k yeah yeah text text which is now also used by the people in the Mongolia uh same as Russia killed text and then This one is really interesting. This actually, you know, this is like a replica of the letters sent by the king Guu Hang, one of the emperors of the empire to the Roman pope in Kentu innocent force. This one is actually using like probably a Mongolian script, but the description there said that you know emperors at the time were all using like the different types of languages. For example, whenever sending like the letters to Japan, they always use like Chinese characters. So uh and then to send in like the letters to the Arabic countries, they also use Arabic. So which was really you know uh I think they were very nicely communicating with the other countries. Just amazed by these layers that look totally the same to me. Here you can also see this seal of the emperor Ghan got that huge seal which is to prove that you know that is like a you know sign by the emperor. Looks interesting that it has probably like a bear and I guess I don’t know which kind of animal but looks really cool actually. So like you know this uh empire seal actually started by the Chingish Khan and then which was used for like uh you know national affairs and then it was interesting that you know this letter actually you know is read as asking the you know innocent force to obey as it says that you know this is like order of the oionic kh of the great Mongol state whoever receives it be field and obey in no wow So you see this yeah national yeah like the seal by emperor super interesting and here’s also you can see different types of you know text that was used by the people in the Mongolia one of each was written in soyombo text it’s probably like the the center yeah these are also soyombo text wow how do you read that my gosh then here you Can see like many accessories of a Mongol nobles. Yeah. Cool. Wow. Interesting. And then this is like a territory like a lot of territory that they have you know conquered have been like a sick road and then so you know in the history actually the Mongol Empire tried to attack Japan twice but you know it was 13th century during the 13th century but they both time they failed because of the typhoon so the ships from the country didn’t it it actually arrived at the you know southern part of Japan I guess but they you know had to retreat because of the typhoon so yeah if they had you know conquered Japan at the time the you know we don’t probably don’t have this you know like a peace country and culture right now that we as we have now anyway so back to you know Mongolian pavilion so this is like the currency they have used it’s called ger gag it’s called a ger I don’t know how to call it in English ger is one of the it says that the most famous heritage of Mongol Empire and it’s like a symbol of diplomatic relationship and then and it was actually used as a passport by the people like a messengers and and the ambassadors and the other BIP people you know trusted by the only Mongolian empire emperor. Yeah. And then here it talks about the you know like how the the peaceful time of the 100 Mongolian empire which is called the Pax Mongolica was maintained. uh one of which is due to like the you know the system they used uh they actually used the horse express stations as a security system and then which you know helped to eliminate the all the robers along the silic road. Interesting. Wow. And then the last thing I wanted to share is that this one I’ve just realized that this is like the first time that I see you know like a text explanation on the on on your head. This is about Atras of Colonia created in 19375. It’s an ancient world map showing the entire territory of that Mongol Empire. And then this one the unique feature is that you know this atras is actually made with the globe unfolded and in doing so the maps located in the north in terms of geographical location were drawn with the you know places located in the south facing up.

  1. Rokusan. Great content as usual. 😃 I thoroughly enjoyed the videography and the English narration, as always. You might want to amplify Martin's voice in the outro as it's difficult to hear his message. 🦻 Have safe journeys. 🐈😺
