Contest #860: the Imperial Map Monument near Kharkhorin, Mongolia

This week we visited another three maps. The Imperial Map Monument commemorates the three empires that settled on the shores of the nearby Orkhon River, near the town of Kharkhorin, Mongolia. The monument consists of a large pile of stones carefully assembled into a cone with nine poles protruding from the top and three colourful mosaics / maps representing each of the empires.

Kharkhorin, known at the time as Karakorum was the capital of the Mongol Empire.
