Mo'ynaq

A Graveyard Of Ships In The Desert

Many have visited an abandoned city and wondered what catastrophic event could have caused such an exodus from a metropolis once so evidently thriving. Yet these cities are usually hundreds if not thousands of years old, the everyday clamor and cry of civilization just an echo.

Visit Mo'ynaq in Uzbekistan, however, and you can see apocalypse right here, right now. It looks like a scene from a science fiction disaster movie: big ships adrift in the desert.
