The Khorezm Fortresses, October, 2021, 42°00’03.6″N 60°42’02.5″E- ish

Last month we drove around to see the remains of mud-brick fortresses, some as old as the 4th century BC, that Genghis Khan’s destroyed.

Uzbekistan does not protect these forts in anyway, so we were free to walk around and the wild plants were free to grow.
Moon rise.
The moon rise was really really impressive.
Oddly a bunch of camels wandered by (for us, apparently super normal here, our camp even gave me camel milk tea, although I wish they hadn’t).
This wall is only 2,000 years old.
It seem like these places may be buried soon enough.
Emily made an appearance!
