    Dandan-Oilik, the Lost Oasis Town on the Silk Road", by Angel Carlos Aguayo.

    The ruins of an abandoned Chinese desert oasis town on the Silk Road were discovered in 1896. The area had been visited by Marco Polo in 1274. Difficult excavating in shifting sands uncovered Buddhist temples, poplar tree poles up to ten feet tall, pottery fragments, Indo-Persian-style paintings, and more. Why did it disappear?
