Turquoise Mountain
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Turquoise Mountain was the greatest indigenous Afghan capital of the middle ages. It was destroyed by Ögedei Khan, son of Genghis Khan, in the early 1220s and lost to history. The magnificent Minaret of Jam is thought to be the only standing remains.
