Mongolian Eagle Hunter’s tradition is more than thousands years old which earliest archeological discoveries of eagle hunting back to 3-4 century B.C. Later around 1270 AD Marco Polo described about -central Asian nomads hunted on horseback with hawks, falcons and eagles during his journey. However Eagle Hunting is disappeared from many places as it was commonly practiced and now one of few places in the world eagle hunting is kept alive as way of making living is Kazakh dominated area of westernmost Mongolia, Bayan-Ulgii province which is two times bigger than El Salvador. Called as "Berkutchi" in Kazakh language –Eagle hunters inherited their unique tradition from their ancestors of Mongol and Turkic nomads while practicing it and emerging as ethnic group. ~ Ayan Travel: Adventures in Mongolia
