...Asia. The domain of the early Tatar khans, in the Altai mountains of Thibet and the Gobi Desert, is now the archaeological province of General Peter K. Kozlov, Russian geographer and digger persistent. Twenty years ago he found the dead city of Khara-Khoto whose last khan, Hara-Tzyan-Tzyun, buried 80 carloads of silver in a profound well before being wiped out by an Imperial Chinese army in the 13th Century. Digger Kozlov frequently revisits the region for further data. His latest expedition set out from Moscow last spring...
Tibet. Colonel Peter Kozlov, foremost Russian explorer, last week published in Moscow a report on his recent discovery of Kharakota, dead Tibetan city. Huge stone figures of "evil-eyed females" and a wellful of buried treasure were prominent items. Colonel Kozlov estimated that the simian population of Tibet-monkeys, gorillas, mandrills-far outnumbered the human "and could supply the world's demand for rejuvenation glands for a century." In Kookooner Lake he came upon an island inhabited only by three large-framed, shaggy Buddhist monks who, never before having seen a civilized man, fled like pious cavemen...
...until last week, particularly fruitful. The broils of bellicose Chinamen disrupted Digger Roy Chapman Andrews' plans for another (fourth) season of fossil collecting in the Gobi desert, costing him his $225,000 camel train. He returned to the U. S. last fortnight. Two Russian expeditions-Colonel Kozlov's in the Khangai Mountains of Mongolia and Professor Mechaninov's nearer home at Baku in Azer-baijan-met with success. Colonel Kozlov found "unquestionable traces" of an ice sheet having covered the Khangais. (This data may prove of importance to Digger Andrews and his paleontologists by helping them...
...Some recent discoveries," continued the archaeologist, "in fact, the ones on which I lectured at the Fogg Museum, have been made in Northern China by a Russian, Colonel Kozlov. These discoveries consist of a number of early tombs all dating from about the first century before our era which contained an enormous number of textiles in a truly remarkable state of preservation." Professor Pelliot then went on to describe the tombs more in detail...
...tombs which Colonel Kozlov discovered were made of wood and consisted in a typical instance of one chamber, measuring about seven by ten yards, placed inside another so as to leave a rather large corridor around the outside. Within the inmost chamber, a heavy, lacquered and decorated coffin lay upon a thick woolen carpet. In the second chamber were found the valuable textiles and other objects. No golden or silver pieces were found in any of the tombs due to the fact that they had already been broken into by robbers at a much earlier date. Human remains were also...
