Deep within the shifting sands of the Gobi Desert lies the elusive Olgoi-Khorkhoi, the Mongolian Death Worm – or so legend has it.
What do you think the Mongolian Death Worm was/is? Do you know of any creature on which it could be based? What could have inspired the legend?
I will be taking a trip to Indonesia later this year, visiting the megalithic site of Gunung Padang and Borobudur in Java. Has anyone visited any other great ancient sites in Indonesia that you'd recommend to going to?
Thanks!
