I spent 2 days in Nokhur, a small village in the Kopet Dag Mountains, which form the border between Turkmenistan and Iran. The people of Nokhur claim to be descended from Alexander the Great and some say the name of the village itself was derived from Noah. One of the most interesting aspects of my visit was visiting the village cemetery, where most of the gravestones include ornaments in the shape of goat horns, as shown above.
