Mapping the Silk Road

The Riddle of Ptolemy's Stone Tower

Beschreibung

For over 2,000 years, the location of the Stone Tower, mid-point of the ancient Silk Road, has remained a mystery. This book traces the search for its true site, arguing for its identification as Sulaiman-Too mountain in Kyrgyzstan, and explores its significance in ancient trade, geography, and cultural history.

Autor

Riaz Dean has travelled much of the area described in this book, including the two halves of what was once Turkestan, and to the Roof of the World which divides them. He collects old maps and books about the exploration of this region, and has written of the ancient Silk Road and its mapping. Born and raised in the Fiji Islands, he subsequently lived on three continents before settling in New Zealand.
