ABSTRACT
After finishing our successful excavations in Kumtura, we moved over to the ming-öi of Kyzyl; they, too, are situated on the Muzart, about nine and a half miles to the west of Kumtura. Starting from the little Kyzyl rest-house, after a ride of about five miles southward to the old temples of the ming-öi the traveller comes to a mountain range that can only be crossed at one spot by a short but steep pass. From one point in this pass it is possible to look down into the wild valley below, and catch a sudden glimpse of the settlement lying stretched out amid its romantic surroundings.
