“Archaeological excavations discovered traces of cities of the [[History of the Khitans|Kidan]] period in Mongolia which lasted from the 10th to the 12th centuries. The most significant of the excavated cities was [[Hatun Hot]] founded in 944. Another significant Kidan city was Bars-Hot in the basin of the river Kerulen. It occupied an area of 1600x1810 metres and was surrounded with mud walls, which are today 4 metres thick and 1.5–2 metres high.<ref name="Chultem"/> A remnant of a [[stupa]] is found near the walls. There used to be a pair of them, but in the 1940s the Soviet garrison used cannon fire to destroy one for amusement.” [Revision as of 05:31, 25 November 2012] - http://www.wikipedia-update.com/English/architecture-of-mongolia.html
