Historical and religious sources of the mongolian theatre

The monuments of literature, ancient shamanism, archeological digs and the historical facts which the Mongolia studies dispose of, contain much information about the culture of the ancestors. On the grounds of them one could judge about the rise of the Mongolian theatre from the religious ceremonies. An indissoluble connection of epos, cult music, singing with rhythmic movements in dancing is being traced and this can serve as a premise for the development of these elements into a unique, well fit form giving a later birth to a prototype of the theatre.
