In 2010, the Naadam was enlisted in the UNESCO world heritage list. Modern researchers declared that the Naadam originated from the Khuns (I – II B.C.). During that time the main three foundation for a new government were horse riding, wrestling, and archery. The reason why is that because those are the three main things a man needed to protect the land and their home. For instance, using bow and arrows while riding a horse to take down the enemies, and if it’s a melee fight and a man doesn’t have a sword, skills to wrestling techniques played a big part. The Naadam was originally celebrated to enhance the skills of the soldiers and to unite the clans. Since then Mongolians continued on celebrating the Naadam.

From an early age, Mongolians strictly followed food and dietary restrictions and prevented any illness. Mongolians sustain their bodies with food and drinks that can cure diseases and have long been using food as a medicine. About 2000 years ago, Mongolian great ancestors, the Huns were abundant in milk and airag (fermented mare’s milk) that they fermented milk and used to make huruu aaruul (long dried curd).
Since the beginning, Mongolia has been an agricultural country. Mongolia is the land of organic products since, there are no atomic power plant, no chemical factories, and no air, soil and water pollution.

Mongolia is abundant in natural fresh organic meat products, dried meat, dairy products, fermented mare’s milk, fermented camel’s milk, dried curd, sour curds, grain, honey, tea, medical plants and fruits. Only with the use of milk, about 200 types of products are made and these milk processed products are called “Tsagaan idee.” Mongolians are able to contribute hugely to the food deficiency, agricultural development, and the climate change problems that the world is facing.

The animals follow the nature of the animals and feed them up and maintain the characteristics of the factory, nature is an independent culture based on the three-ring tone of people, animals, and nature that retains its state of being and maintains its natural state of resilience. Nomads have contributed greatly to the development of humanity, such as bow, drum, home, and epic poetry, while overcoming extreme harsh conditions in Central Asia.

The strike is on the middle of the astrology and the shotgun is called a curb and arrow. It placed on a wooden base to be called a fence and should be cut off at a height of approximately 4.72 m. The ankle man has the ability to take things seriously, to make good decisions and to wait, and the necessity of having them is patience and a sense of feeling.

There are three main categories in Mongolian archery such as Khalkha, Buriat and Urainkhai archeries. Numbers of ball like targets are placed in line and archers shoot certain number of arrows from a far distance, and then hitting scores of archers distinguish a champion. Most ancient form of this game was to precisely shoot the target, which was placed at the maximum of longest shooting distance. This was called as ‘Shooting Metal Arrowhead’. Today archers use non-metal arrowheads for their arrows during the Naadam.
