Be Right Bactria
All that glitters is not gold...EXCEPT WHEN IT IS. That must be the moral of the story of Tillya Tepe (or Tillia Tepe). Why? Because when archaeologist Viktor Sarianidi started excavating the remains of a site in Afghanistan known as Tillya Tepe in 1978, it started to glitter and it was definitely GOLD! Not just any old gold. Oh no. We are talking THOUSANDS of intricate old gold artifacts. Over 20,000!!!!!!!! Figure out where Viktor Sarianidi was born and search for the name of the town in the catalog to find your first code.
