RE: Khiva: What the guidebooks don't say

in Worldmappin18 hours ago

This is a fascinating and well-written blog post!You've done a great job of highlighting the hidden history of Khiva,which is often glossed over in guidebooks.I particularly appreciate your detailed account of the slave trade and the brutal treatment of the people under the Khan's rule.It's a stark reminder that even beautiful and historic places can have a dark past.I'm adding"The Great Game"and"The Lost Heart of Asia"to my reading list.Thanks for sharing your insights and experiences!
