Ruinsed City of Anau. |
Citation Information
OCR Text
The city of Anau was abandoned only during the past century. Its gates are
gone, its walls have crumbled, and of the houses built of burnt bricks only dilapi-
dated walls are standing. The surface of the interior is irregular, great depressions
marking the places where were once extensive pools. These water-basins form
one of the charms of the cities of Turkestan, where they are inclosed in paved steps
that descend from terraces on which stand widespreading trees and tea-houses—
the lounging and gossiping centers of daily life. In Anau only the gaping depres-
sions remain to mark how rapidly desolation may obliterate the traces of busy life.
