Merv: ghost of a world capital

A few kilometers from modern Mary lie the ruins of Merv (Mary in the local language), one of the largest cities in the ancient and medieval world. At its peak in the twelfth century, Merv may have been the world’s largest city, a major Silk Road hub for trade, scholarship, and culture. The Mongol invasion in 1221 destroyed the city, killing hundreds of thousands. Modern Mary is a modest industrial town by comparison, shaped by natural gas extraction.

Turkmenistan runs a fixed UTC+5 without seasonal adjustment. At 37 degrees north, day length varies from about 10 hours in December to 14 hours in June. The absence of DST means the longest summer days extend well into the evening by the clock.

9am in Mary is 4am in London during European winter, a five-hour gap consistent year-round.
