Republic of Karakalpakstan (November, 2019) – After our foray into the wild and wacky tour of remains of the Aral Sea; we ventured back towards the Mizdarkhan necropolis. Within the archeological rubble; remnants of arches, crosses and even piles of stones can be seen. The site dating back to the 4th century has undergone much gentrification, but what remains of the original Zoroastrian site really was a little marvel against the monotonous great sands of the silk road. It appears that superstitious pilgrims pile stones on the structure ensuring the world remains standing. Bless them!
