Explorations in Turkestan: With an Account of the Basin of Eastern Persia and Sistan, Expedition of 1903 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Explorations in Turkestan: With an Account of the Basin of Eastern Persia and Sistan, Expedition of 1903
The investigation was proposed because (1) there is a school that still holds the belief that central Asia is the region in which the great civilizations of the far East and of the West had their origins; and (2) because of the supposed occurrence in that region, in prehistoric times, of great changes in climate, resulting in the formation and recession of an extensive Asian Mediterranean, of which the Aral, Caspian, and Black seas are the principal remnants.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents archaeological and geographical research conducted by the author and his colleagues during an early-20th century expedition across Russian Turkestan.
