The Mysterious Desert Towers of Uzbekistan's Lost Civilization - The Daily Beast

In an article that reads part romantic travelogue, part archaeological/historical tour, and part commentary upon modern mistakes, Andrew Fedorov takes us to the site of an ill-known civilization whose secrets are in severe danger. The only thing missing is a good map orientating the reader. Paul Seaburn makes a point about the universality of head-binding in Elongated Skulls and the Fall of the Roman Empire. A Hungarian discovery helps reveal a terribly ill-known era in the late Roman Empire, and even more questions. More insights come from "one of the most fascinating archaeological discoveries in southern Britain in recent years," as an Unearthed Ancient British Chieftain and Probable Shaman Reveal Secrets about Old Burial Rituals. David Keys tells a story full of exciting discoveries, brave interpretations, and even more mysteries surrounding a sumptuous/austere Beaker people burial combination, including a "seated burial." And for a fascinating change of pace, we were just introduced to a digital map of Roman Ostia. This Russell Fleming creation is "a work in progress," part of a medley of ancient city and map realizations and tables including Pompeii and Herculaneum, Eratosthenes' map, the Tabula Peutingeriana, and the Greek and Roman divinities.
