More than 40 km southeast from the center of Darganga Soum, Sukhbaatar province, on the western downhill of the mountain called known as Lamt, on the southwest side of the Lamt military basis, there are three human stones with elaborate depictions. The Lamt stone statues are a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of ancient cultures. These statues are remarkable for their accurate depictions of the faces of both Khaans and nobles, which have been preserved in pristine condition within the stone. This level of preservation is of immeasurable value to historians and archeologists, who can glean important insights into the physical appearances of these historical figures.
