How the world was discovered int the past

The perusal of Johnson”s Report of his journey to Khotan, and the
Itineraries attached to it, enabled me to feel tolerable certainty as to
the position of Charchan (see next chapter), and as to the fact that Marco
followed a direct route from Khotan to the vicinity of Lake Lop. Pein,
then, was identical with PIMA,[1] which was the first city reached by
Hiuen Tsang on his return to China after quitting Khotan, and which lay
330 _li_ east of the latter city.[2] Other notices of Pima appear in
Rmusat”s history of Khotan; some of these agree exactly as to the
distance from the capital, adding that it stood on the banks of a river
flowing from the East and entering the sandy Desert; whilst one account
seems to place it at 500 _li_ from Khotan. And in the Turkish map of
Central Asia, printed in the _Jahn Num_, as we learn from Sir H.
Rawlinson, the town of _Pm_ is placed a little way north of Khotan.
Johnson found Khotan rife with stories of former cities overwhelmed by the
shifting sands of the Desert, and these sands appear to have been
advancing for ages; for far to the north-east of Pima, even in the 7th
century, were to be found the deserted and ruined cities of the ancient
kingdoms of _Tuholo_ and _Shemathona_. ‘Where anciently were the seats of
flourishing cities and prosperous communities,’ says a Chinese author
speaking of this region, ‘is nothing now to be seen but a vast desert; all
has been buried in the sands, and the wild camel is hunted on those arid
plains.’
