Murche
Site
A mystical place of legends and deities
 Murche,
located 118km to the west of Ashgabat, is an ancient village
in the foothills of the Kopetdag Mountains filled with
ancient ruins, mysticism, and deities. In Murche, one
can see the ancient tribal traditions still performed
with their mysterious offerings to the pagan deities;
see the unexplained natural phenomenon of light radiating
from an archaic burial site, or walk over pre-Islamic
ruins dedicated to the patroness of women and fertility.
Also in Murche is the Mausoleum of Zengi-Baba who is in
Indo-Iranian mythology a reflection of Mithra, the ancient
god of sun. Eventually this cult spread beyond Iran and
Asia Minor and gradually became a mystery cult. It's all
for the curious traveler, only two hours away from the
capital.
