Yurt wagon orGer tereg (Mongolian: ᠭᠡᠷ ᠲᠡᠷᠭᠡ) is a traditional mobile dwelling of theMongolic people, in which ayurt is placed on a large cart usually pulled by oxen.[1]
This type of habitat was mainly used by the MongolKhans, at least between the13th and16th centuries.[2]
William of Rubruck (1215-1295) describes them in his travelogues in theMongol Empire. He describes a meeting in a yurt with Möngke and his wife where they get drunk, during an evening in the presence of Nestorian priests and the woman returns to the imperial yurt, on the cart: "At last the lady, being drunk like the others, returned in her cart to her home".[3]
