Dark Castle, The*

• 1990 ----- color ----- 49 min ----- vhs
• (Silk Road, The series, Part 4) In this part you will encounter the ghost castle of Khara-khoto, 250 miles from the oasis of Jiu-chang, near the Qilian Mountains in the Gobi Desert. This legendary lost city was obliterated from the face of the earth by Genghis Khan, who exterminated the Tangut people who built it. Buried by the Gobi sands, it was unearthed by the Russian explorer Koslov, who took its artworks to The Hermitage. The castle has stood unentered for fifty year, since the locals refuse to enter the cursed grounds. You will embark on a Mongol camel journey from Narnborg, traverse the desert, and enter the castle gates--alone!
