This isn't worth a thread on its own but seeing this is Sarmatian I might as well post it here. I saw an image in "The World Of The Scythians" by Renate Rolle in which a Russian ethnologist did a sketch of a yurt erected inside a building that the Soviets built near the Aral Sea. I suppose you can "Take the nomad out of the Steppes but can't take the Steppes out of the nomad". Sketch done in 1954
