Abstract
The article first clarified the concept of “Tngri” and the related titles of Genghis Khan and the chief priest Teba-Tengri. It is proved that “Tngri” is not “Blue Sky”, since the actual translation of this word is different. For the first time, not only the names of God and the eleven spirits of the medieval Mongols that Mangu Khan spoke about are mentioned, but their functions are explained in detail, the holidays associated with their veneration, the nature and time of their holding are indicated. The myth of shamanism and totemism of medieval Mongols is debunked. The relationship between the faith of the Genghis Khan’s Mongols, their feast etiquette and the practice of forming and manning an army in the performance of its combat missions is revealed. It is proved that in medieval Mongolian society a harmonious worldview system was functioning, different from Zoroastrianism, Mithraism, the Bon religion and Tengrianism.
