Baalbek ruins, Lebanon.

 

[toxicboy]

Doesn't look like anything in Greece though...
Architectural style is perhaps more akin to those of the Holy pilgrimage tours of Israel... though I could be wrong!

 

[paapoopa]

Baalbek ruins, Lebanon.

[LAZyNPL]

Haha, google helps a lot....
The backdrop give me a big clue to its geographical characteristic!


My wife suggested me to post the following pic:

Clues:
>> Mummies dated 475-221 BCE in the local museum suggest long history of origin;
>> It has a long history as a stop where major trade routes converged here.

My wife insisted me to post this photo so here it is:
This time round have to guess the town/terrain besides the province/country. Looks like the bottom of a glacier?
Wouldn't have a clue where specifically this is though....

Wah...! Difficult :sweat:
that landscape in the background must be characteristic somehow... looks like the bottom of a glacier.
But absolutely no idea which part of the world this is.

 

[LAZyNPL]

Thanks for the clues...
Hmmm it seems like a stop along the Silk Road.
If I had to guess, I would say somewhere within XinJiang. Probably on the western or northern border where mountain meets desert.

I can't say u r wrong bro, but..... the distance between your answers are as far apart as from Kyushu to Hokkaido!!
Gimme something more specific like the town, or county please.

 

[LAZyNPL]

One last clue to the quiz:
Majority of the population in the town is the following race....

 

[paapoopa]

i think its somewhere near the town of kashgar near the xinjiang pakistan border

 

[LAZyNPL]

As Kashgar is in a different county as this mysterious town, your answer is not representative.
Try harder!!

1st thought is One of the Tan countries. Kazakstan, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan .....etc but looking at the complection I guess maybe further west. Azerbaijan? Georgia?

Others' guesses have narrowed down the region pretty much.
Identify the ethnic group and u will get the answer!

Muztagh Ata in Xinjiang? The woman look like Uzbek.

Not at Mustagh Ata, note it's a historical town; not just in the wilderness.
The lady is also not an Uzbek.
