Thanks to the efforts of sculptors Messrs. Amgalan, Sodnomtseren, Altankhuiag, supervising engineers Mrs. Enkhbayar and Zagaa, the workers of their constructing company Buukh as well as contracted local workers, all construction could be completed in extremely difficult weather conditions within a relatively short period of 5 months. As often in my working life, the role of my brother Ligden was crucial for the success of the whole project especially in the times of my absence from the country. The work was still going on when local people started to come and observe what now became more understandable to them. Three maps of three ancient empires, decorated with images from the period chronicles, the symbolic sacrificial stupa "ovoo" in the center. The locals all seemed to be leaving the site with pride.
