It’s 1927 and Prof Zacharias Kerpunknik sends you a sample of his latest controversial find, just before he himself disappears. Is it Soviet agents trying to keep people out of a secret site in remote areas in Kazakhstan or treasure seekers or just plain hill bandits – you decide.

Visit beautiful Tashkent and other spots via the Trans-Aral Railway and see new places, meet new friends. We’ll leave the lamp on for you … Also watch the movie Horror Express (1972) about just a nice train trip with a fossil.
