description: Sir Aurel Stein's name is notably associated with the extensive excavations and explorations in the Central and Innermost Asia. He undertook several exploration journeys to the interior of Asia and used Sanskrit, Persian, Chinese, Turkish, Greek and Latin as scholarly tools to unlock the geographical puzzles. He unearthed numerous long buried sites in the desert sands of Central Asia, exposing a long forgotten civilisation and ancient remains and culture of a very rich heritage. Innermost Asia constitutes the story of his rediscovering the Ancient Silk Route from the passage land of westernmost China across the Tarim basin to the uppermost reaches of Oxus and to Iran and Hindukush valleys.
