Forty Mullahs Hill, Köneürgench, Turkmenistán
The mound of graves called the Kyrk Mollais a sacred place where Konye-Urgench’s inhabitants held their last stand against the Mongols. Here you might see young women rolling down the hill in a fertility rite – one of Konye-Urgench’s more curious attractions.
