WE WANT YOU TO KNOW MORE ABOUT MONGOLIA
SWORN BROTHERS
Historically, there have been many instances of Mongolians becoming sworn brothers. In a special ceremony, the two exchange shirts, belts, weapons and wisdom.
The Secret History of the Mongols says, for example, "Temuujin (Chingis Khaan) and Jamukha exchanged anklebones and became sworn brothers," true to each other until death. There is a proverb in the west that is also an old Mongolian proverb: a friend in needs is a friend indeed.
