EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, the venerable figure of a holy stone turtle, or tortoise, stands proudly amidst the rugged terrain of Karakorum, Mongolia. One of two famous sacred turtles or tortoises located near the historic Erdene Zuu Monastery, this ancient carving is a testament to the rich cultural and religious history of this region. The turtle, intricately carved from stone, is draped in a vibrant blue scarf, a tradition believed to have begun during the Mongol Empire in the 16th century. The scarf, a symbol of respect and protection, adds an air of reverence to the already mystical figure. Erdene Zuu Monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, was founded in 1585 and is the oldest Buddhist monastery in Mongolia. The monastery's walls, adorned with intricate carvings and sculptures, reflect the blending of Tibetan Buddhism and Mongolian shamanism. The holy stone turtle, with its serene expression and ancient appearance, is a reminder of the deep connection between the people of Mongolia and their spiritual heritage. This sacred symbol, a source of inspiration and wonder for generations, continues to captivate visitors to this historic site. The photograph, taken in the year 2000, captures the essence of this spiritual landmark, transporting us back in time to a place where history, culture, and nature converge in a breathtaking display of beauty and reverence. The holy stone turtle, with its peaceful demeanor and the vibrant blue scarf adorning its shell, stands as a beacon of faith and tradition, a symbol of the enduring strength and resilience of the Mongolian people.
