This is a wide range of surface transformations as a result of human activity, depending on the type of activity, time, scale and technological capabilities. The question of anthropogenic landforms covers a long historical stage. In this work, for the territory of Mongolia, two periods are proposed.
   A. Early engineering structures (Historic). One of the earliest examples of objects are engineering structures - fragments of the "Wall of Genghis Khan" passing on both sides of the border of Mongolia, China and Russia. There are three such complexes: southwestern, southeastern and northeastern ramparts.
The longest, latest and well-preserved is the southwestern shaft (Tangut wall), its length is 850 km (!). The complex of structures was built in the era of the Tangut state Xi Xia (1038-1227) and consisted of a defensive wall and related buildings. The pictures show 5 of its fragments. The most significant in terms of area, surviving structures of the early period are the ruins of Khar-Balgas (Karabalgasun, Ordu-Balyk) - the capital of the 3rd Uyghur Khaganate (744-840). The capital of the Uighur Khaganate is located on the left bank of the Orkhon River, just 17 km northeast of the ruins of Karakoram. A large city with a population of up to 100,000 people had a clear layout of multi-storey buildings. Its territory was surrounded by a rampart, behind which there were irrigation canals, arable land and gardens.
    B. Engineering structures of the present. Modern industrial mining is associated with the movement of a significant amount of material extracted from the earth's interior. As an example of technogenic landforms and negative consequences for the environment, images of a number of deposits are given.
