6 Мест Центральной Азии, Которые СКРЫВАЛИ от Всего Мира

This documentary series features six Central Asian locations that school textbooks leave unmentioned. The forgotten kingdom of Margush, discovered in the Karakum Desert by pottery fragments. A crater that geologists set on fire for three days, and it has burned for over half a century. A city older than Babylon, discovered thanks to a bronze axe in the home of an old front-line soldier. An ancient art gallery in a mountain grotto, accessible only to a few. The Fortress of Forty Maidens, whose owner remains unknown. And Merv, once one of the largest cities on the planet, turned into an empty field in just a few days. Six stories about how easily the earth hides great things and how few hands we have to reach them. 🏺 Gonur-Depe and the forgotten kingdom of Margush in the sands of the Karakum Desert 🔥 Darvaza, a gas crater burning for over fifty years 🎨 Zaraut-Sai, ancient rock paintings and figures that are debated 🏛️ Sarazm, a city older than Babylon on the banks of the Zeravshan 🏰 Kyrk-Kyz, the Fortress of Forty Maidens near Termez ⚔️ Merv, one of the largest cities in the world, erased in a few days Sources: 1.
