Shoroon Bumbagar tomb

The Shoroon Bumbagar tomb is an ancient tomb in Zaamar sum, Tov Province, 160km west of Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia about 2.5km north-east from the banks of the Tuul River and close to the 10th-century Khitan town of Khermen Denzh on the banks of the Tuul River.[5] The tomb of Shoroon Bumbagar was never looted and therefore was found to hold far more artifacts including an intact door, many statues and wall paintings of people, dragons and temples, although there was no inscription.[5]

It is an example of a Turkic memorial complex, dated to the 7th century CE, with Chinese architectural influence due to the control of the area by the Tang Dynasty at that time.[5] Byzantine coins were also found in the tomb.[5]

The Shoroon Bumbagar tomb is located in proximity to the tomb of Pugu Yitu.[5]
