Visit to the http://museum.khovd.mn/ at 7:30  pm Ulaanbaatar local time found the website was not working and instead it showed head of  image of wolf and displayed texts “ Hedef Turan, hedek Turk,  hacked by cyber kanka”, symbols and that represents Turkey, its flag and links “ About Ottoman Empire”, “List of Turkic Dynasties and countries” if clicked, directs to Wikipedia pages about Ottoman Empire and Turkic speaking countries.

Researchers of Khovd local museum and local university recently discovered ancient grave that contained mummy with full clothing and sacrificial horse and related bridle and other items. Mongolian archeologists consider the grave dates back to 6-8^th century AD which is categorized as Turkic period in Mongolian archeology.

Many western media run stories with headlines ‘Scientists discover 1,500 year-old Mongolian mummy wearing Adidas Boots’, ‘ Archeologists find ancient mummy approximately 1,500 years old in Mongolia’ etc.
