[QUOTE="Ed Snible, post: 7870955, member: 82322"]Here is another "Kobadien": [ATTACH=full]1355959[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1355960[/ATTACH] I have put Kobadien in quotes, because Stefan Heidemann told me he suspects these are not from Kobadien, but from further south. If it is from Kobadien, this is a place with many different spellings. Google Maps has an entry for the "Qabodiyan bazaar": [URL]https://goo.gl/maps/2m3WVfQxtbWo3Zws8[/URL] It is unclear to me if the entries labeled "Qabodiyan" are the ancient places or Soviet-era buildings and districts. Google Maps combines old maps, satellite images, and user input. It can be quite good. It has an artificial intelligence drawing squares on maps where the satellite sees buildings. The WikiVoyage entry for the province of Khatlon in Tajikistan has a clickable link for the location of the Oxus treasure, supposedly found near ancient Kobodien. The page says the treasure was found at "Takhti Sangin", and if you enter that name into Google maps you'll see nothing ... until you switch from the map view to the satellite view.
