What does this symbol mean? Why is it used by Mongols and Tibetans (traditional Bon religion) simultaneously? What is the link between both cultures?
>>
It's about Tengriism actually

Quote from Mongol forum

"Ancient Mongolian symbol has MOON, SUN and(not star maybe because they didn`t know this 5 angle shape) a FIRE. Symbol with mix of MOON & SUN is called Hunnic=Nomadic.
The Soyombo symbol is a special character out of the Mongolian Soyombo script that was invented by Zanabazar in 1686. It serves as a national symbol of Mongolia, to be found on the Flag of Mongolia, the Coat of arms of Mongolia, and on many other official documents.Sun and moon symbolise that the Mongolian nation will exist for eternity as the eternal blue sky. Sun, moon and fire symbols derived from Xiongnu."

Not really, those symbols have nothing to do with Tengrism directly.

Why are Mongols so A E S T H E T I C?
>>
>>1677869
The symbol of Soyombo was created by a Mongol Tibetan Buddhist, who was a son of a mongol khan(direct descendant of chingis khan). As part of Soyombo script, which is a derivative of Tibetan script, which is a derivative of variant of Sanskrit. For the sole purpose of spreading Buddhism.

You're most likely right. It looks like its imported directly from the Buddhist stupa designs. Although there are similarities with other designs, the fact of the matter is, the original official creator of the symbol was a buddhist monk from the Tibetan lineage.
