I am ready for a long road flight for work with a week- or months-long projects.
THE ROAD THAT GENGHIS KHAN ONCE WALKED STRETCHED FAR THROUGH TIME. I CAN STILL HEAR THE ECHOES OF HIS HEAVY STEPS...

A POEM APPEARS:
In the desert, time bears witness to the dance of griffins and gargoyles.
A few people mingle in the ancient arena,
Red shirts and red ties.
They clutch dissertations and notes,
And discuss excitedly,
A loud ticking fills the silence with anxiety,
And on the steps,
A majestic imperial throne, covered with gilded skulls and precious stones... remains empty.
To the right and to the left of him, the sbir (guards) stand in silence, gazing intently at the arena.
On stage, the show is in full swing.
Time, like Godot, will not come.

TIME WILL NOT COME, BECAUSE IT SIMPLY DOES NOT EXIST. THE DESERT TOLD ME SO.

The population density of the Gobi is 0.28 people per square kilometer.
The desert is around 65 million years old. It was formed by the rise of the Himalayas, which sheltered this place from the rains.
To stop the desert expanding into China, the country set up The Great Green Wall, an initiative to establish plantlife between northern China and the Gobi.

ON THE DAY OF THE FIRST OVERNIGHT STAY IN THE CENTRAL GOBI, WE STUMBLED UPON A ROW OF LARGE STONES DUG INTO THE GROUND VERTICALLY—MENHIRS.

Whether they are a sacred place for rituals, or an ‘astronomical site’ is still a mystery to archaeologists.
Their existence spans from the Bronze Age—a thousand years BC— up to the early Middle Ages, and the borderline of the first two thousand years of our era.

UNLIKE ANYWHERE ELSE, ONE FEELS THE INTERDEPENDENCE OF TIME AND SPACE HERE. SPACE IN MONGOLIA IS CHARACTERIZED BY A TRANSPARENCY AND SPARSENESS THAT IMBUE IT WITH A SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP TO TIME.

TIME STRETCHES OUT. IN JUST A DAY, ONE CAN COVER A DISTANCE THAT WOULD TAKE MUCH LONGER IN ANOTHER PLACE.

Culture and nature masquerade as one another in the desert. Human structures—mounds and cairns made of stones from buildings have become part of the natural landscape; the weathered rocks and stones resemble the ruins of ancient cities.
