"Bactria is an ancient region of Central Asia, between the Hindu Kush Mountain range and the Oxus River (today generally called the Amu Darya River). In more recent times, the region also goes by the name "Balkh," after one of the tributary rivers of the Amu Darya. Historically often a unified region, Bactria now is divided among many Central Asian nations: Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan, plus a sliver of what is now Pakistan. Two of its significant cities that are still important today are Samarkand (in Uzbekistan) and Kunduz (in northern Afghanistan)…."

Guys I've been trying to remember the name of a 1960s(?) Hollywood movie that takes place in medieval Samarkand, right before the Mongols come a-knocking. I think there were some famous actors in it. At least a famous actress. Does it ring a bell? Dan
PS. It may have had a priest or scribe dressed like one of the Thulsa Doom's followers. |

Where the camels come from, one lump or two? |

Hmm … Is there an overlap in their ranges now? Do the two ever breed and produce 1.5 lump young? Dan
PS. I always forget the camel started off in the Americas. Funny creature. EDIT – Wow, I guess they can be bred and produce 1.5 humps:
