First published in 1928, this volume constituted the results of
expeditions by the famous archaeologist and explorer of Central
Asia, Albert von Le Coq. Funded by the last German emperor, Wilhelm
II, and von Le Coq's own brewing and winery empire, the second and
third German expeditions ventured to Turfan in the Xinjiang region
of China. Travelling East expecting to find Greek influences, the
expedition in fact uncovered extensive networks of Buddhist and
Manichaean cave temples in the Northwest China. This volume
includes extensive images in addition to a record of the
expedition's journeys and discoveries.
