Dara began his descent into the valley. The roads were naturally unpaved, paths among the cliffs and hills, the third and second teras, until he reached the floodplain of the mountain river. Here the road was more direct, and Dara could walk calmly and relatively quickly.

Dara walked along the left side of the floodplain (western)

In the floodplain of the river there was vegetation, burdocks with large leaves and two types of mint, lemon and pepper. Water gurgled pleasantly. There were small trees, apparently young, about 15-20 years old. And a little further in the depths of the floodplain on the right side (eastern) were visible older trees aged 100 years or more. These were old varieties of walnut; in the cities, these varieties have long been forgotten.

Dara noted to himself that it would be nice to get these nuts. He knew that culinary experts from all over the world were looking for new or old forgotten tastes. To enrich the range of tastes of their dishes. If these nuts were to the taste of experts from the EU, then he could have made good money. If he could still arrange their delivery to the EU, then for 1 kg he would receive 60 or even all 70 euros, while local residents would sell 1 kg for $ 15. Usually, experts buy 10-30 kg. This is good money! Which do not lie on the street!

Since his ancestors were merchants and traders, Dara noticed new opportunities for creating new business lines. And also he did not want to return home empty. It would be necessary to bring with them to the capital samples of dried fruits, dried berries, herbal teas, they could be used as biological additives, they do not need a license. As well as nuts and local sweets. Yes, and the cover is good!

Thinking about this, Dara moved on. According to the satellite image, a distance of 2.3 km was obtained. But the infection, the android did not receive the signal, these are mountains, while the technology is still not so perfect, he complained about it.

The floodplain gradually narrowed, the greenery left in its place, there were already stones and a mountain river was visible, it was three meters wide and in some places the depth reached 1 meter, it was the middle of the river, closer to the mouth of the river into which other small rivers flowed, the depth reached up to 3 meters and the width was about 7 meters. The river flowed into a large river that overlooked the foothill plain in the north, but it did not reach the lake, which was 36 km north of the mountains.

The floodplain of the river smoothly passed to the first terrace, on it the remains of the foundation of buildings were visible. But they did not interest Dara. This foundation, the buildings themselves were abandoned some 20 years ago. And the stones of a convenient form were pulled away by the inhabitants of neighboring gorges; in the mountains a tree is very much appreciated. Therefore, abandoned houses, as a rule, lack a roof, thresholds, windows, ceilings, doors, and of course floors.

Only bare walls of slates or granite blocks remain, is it easier to remove slate than heavy granite blocks, sometimes unprocessed pink and white stones with golden veins of marble were found in the foundation.

Dara walked another 400 meters until he saw a dry bed of a transverse small gorge. And an extensive floodplain 200 meters wide and 1900 meters long. Judging by the contours in the satellite image, about 70 structures, of different sizes and shapes, were placed on this patch.

Found! Further on this floodplain beyond the hill were the ruins judging by the shape of some kind of small fortress or caravanserai.

But to Dara's surprise, there was simply soil overgrown with plants, no visible ruins. In all likelihood, the buildings were below the surface of the earth at 60 cm or so. I have to dig a long time. The soil was loamy. Apparently here you need Fang and his instruments and devices.

A campaign of 2 with a small kilometer at Dara took 40 minutes.

On the other slope, Dara saw the ruins of buildings, there were about three of them, the shales blackened from the sun. Four snow-white callones stood out against a black background.

Dara headed for this amazing find. The pillars turned out to be made of white marble, on them were a Kufic style lined with Arabic script, sacred quotes.

It was an old school of the late 18th century. Dara saw photographs of this place in the book of the first empire dated 1798. But then they already looked like ruins. Researchers traveling during the Second Imreria quickly assessed, according to preliminary data, it was built from the 9th to the 11th century. Times of Arab rule.

Here it seems, it will be interesting to see ... but not the fact that other researchers and treasure hunters did not go through here. Is there anything that is not known at all?

The third interesting place was that fortified point or round caravanserai, you need to watch. What is interesting in the center of this monument of antiquity, Dara, just now having seen a sight, seems to be a well in the center. In a satellite image, it appears as a star in the center with a bold dot. This said that the well was operational and not dry.

In the meantime, in order not to lose time, Dara decided to explore the walls of the old school.

Having taken out Dara's metal thrower, he started ringing the walls ...
