Talk:Bogd Khan Mountain

Comments
The 8th Jebtsundamba Khutugtu became Bogd Khan only in 1911 (before that time, the title Bogd Khan seems to have referred to the emperor in Beijing). However, at least the name Khan Uul already appears before 1911: the chuulgan of Tusheet Khan aimag was called Khan Uulyn chuulgan, and also the Russian geographer Pevtsov calls it Khan Uul in the report of his 1879 journey across Mongolia (according to the GDR translation, anyway). So while this doesn't really rule out that the Bogd in Bogd Khan Uul is really from an association with the Bogd Khan, it makes this association at least unobvious enough to not accept it without further proof. On a sidenote, the mountain really was named after an existing person in the 1950s. Guess after whom? Yaan (talk) 12:06, 19 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Since, as your examples show, the "Bogd" in "Bogd Khan Uul" only appears after 1911, I still think it's more than obvious. The old "King Mountain" was then explicitly dedicated to a specific king. --Latebird (talk) 16:22, 19 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Pozdneyev seems to have called the mountain Bogd Uul and Khan Uul at the same time (title of second chapter+second section of second chapter, btw. don't  the transliterations look a bit too modern), soo... Yaan (talk) 16:30, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

would it be worth mentioning that the Bogdkahn Uul strictly protected area is a UNESCO world biosphere, and is the oldest national park in the world? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.42.123.231 (talk) 09:24, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
