World Nomad Games women

The substance and presentation of this photo essay about women in the World Nomad Games made my life easier and happier somehow ... beautiful women archers, beautifully dressed, with rules of the game that might flummox lesser athletes. Imagine competing from the back of a horse you had never met before....

  1. Yes when viewed without context, these aspects of Mongol culture have there attraction.

    Just think, at one time the riding, archery, even the style of apparel terrorized much of Asia for over 100 years.

    Eventually, the Black Death enabled the indigenous people, the Chinese, to organize, train and to best the nomadic Mongols.
