Sure, the ceilings are great. But what about the floors?

The Swedes, Germans, French and Americans looted boatloads of Frescoes and wall paintings from ancient Buddhist temples in buried and forgotten cities along the Silk Road in Central Asia back in the early part of the 20th century.

Foreign Devils on the Silk Road by Peter Hopkirk tells the story of the organized looting of Central Asian temples by Western explorers and collectors late 1800s-early 1900s.

And I can't mention Hopkirk's name without referencing his book Mission to Tashkent which tells the story of FM Baily, a British agent trapped in Central Asia by the Russian Civil War. This guy was James Bond when Flannery O'Connell was in diapers. He was so good at spycraft and disguise that the Cheka hired him to capture himself. Great firsthand insight into the depredation and brutality of the Bolsheviks.

Oops, I meant Ian Flemming, not Flannery O’Connell.
