It is well known that nomads did not build cities and settlements for year-round living. Their life is subordinated to the seasonal migrations of livestock, and depends on its food supply. Reindeer Tungus, Tuvans or nomadic peoples of Mongolia leave behind only cattle pens and temporary collapsible dwellings. And that is why burial mounds, ruins of fortresses and walls raise many questions in the traveler: who, when and why built these structures??.. Several years ago in a lifeless sandy desert we discovered a stone road crossing dunes and sand dunes... at first glance, this is a senseless structure, since there are no settlements and objects around that require connecting them in such a complex way. The traditional transport in hot sands and salt marshes is camels, they do not require a hard surface, and the caravans that paved the tea and silk roads did not use wheeled transport. That is why our discovery has raised many questions and in search of answers we are heading to the desert again... It may well be that our discovery will add new knowledge about the history of Central Asia and Siberia...
