Terra Mater: Amur - Asiens Amazonas: Die heiligen Quellen

ÖZET

The mighty Amur takes that name at the joining of its two main 'tributaries', springing from the same scared mountain in Mongolia, where Ghenghis Khan chose his underground tomb. The westernmost crosses arid, wolves-roamed lands in Inner and Outer Mongolia, where surrounding plains and even its bed may run dry in bad summers, causing slaughter among the largely migratory wildlife, which also must cope with merciless winters when even the stream itself freezes almost half a year. The northernmost brings comparatively easy prosperity to self-reliant Russian peasant in southern Siberia, massively visited by migrations from Mongolia and further lands.
