This is some excellent story telling. I just stumbled on a picture of these ruins in an archeology Facebook page, got the name in the comments, searched RUclips, and feel very grateful for your effort here. I'm quite impressed by the editing, the extent of your knowledge, photos, and narration. I haven't verified any of your narrative but the analysis seems so compelling because of images provided. I enjoyed every second of this video. Well done!
Thank you, that's very kind of you! I've been toying with the idea of writing up this story as a book. It has all the elements of a good story: exploration, betrayal, colonial expansion, sand-buried ruins, Silk Road, Russo-British rivalry, etc.
This is a fascinating account. I have read many materials about the discovery and investigation of Khara-khoto in both English and Japanese, but none of them mentioned the the Buryat man who actually found the site. Thank you for setting the record straight.
Thanks for this research and info🍀but i like to add some question marks such as all of these areas were the motherland of the ancient turks along with all of the areas,rivers,mountains still have turkish names, why their name and existency have not been visible in the history???? Also mumyfying the dead body by keeping all internal organs was the custom of the ancient turks. And the mongolians and the kam was an interesting name for a book. Because the word of kam means shaman in turkish😊. Also kharakotu means sacred city of the OK people.. OK's were turkish tribe too.😊
You are right about the place names, they can preserve valuable historical data. The Turks have been in the region for a long time, but not at this site. Khara-khoto was a city inhabited by the Tanguts. There are no manuscripts in Turkic languages found there. There are, of course, many Old Uyghur documents from Turfan in Western China, showing a massive presence of Uyghurs there. Thanks for the useful comment! 😀

@@TheChineseAlphabet ... It's a great story.
Yes, it should be made into a movie.
Exactly how I got here ;-) saw it on RUclips, searched it up at perplexity and came here.
I came here from World Ancient History Facebook Page

Very cool!

I wonder if any of those scrolls or books had any information on the weather around the site? Why was it abandoned?.
The scrolls don’t talk about the weather, but it is likely that the river had changed its course and so the area became a desert.
Does the Dead City of Khara Khoto still exist today?
Yes, the ruins are still there, but you can only go with an organized group. Definitely worth a trip!
