Bactria–Margiana Archaeological Complex

The Bactria–Margiana Archaeological Complex (or BMAC, also known as the Oxus civilization) is the modern archaeological designation for a Bronze Age civilisation of Central Asia, dated to ca. 2300–1700 BCE, located in present-day northern Afghanistan, eastern Turkmenistan, southern Uzbekistan and western Tajikistan, centered on the upper Amu Darya (Oxus River). Its sites were discovered and named by the Soviet archaeologist Viktor Sarianidi (1976). Bactria was the Greek name for the area of Bactra (modern Balkh), in what is now northern Afghanistan, and Margiana was the Greek name for the Persian satrapy of Margu, the capital of which was Merv, in modern-day southeastern Turkmenistan.

Sarianidi's excavations from the late 1970s onward revealed numerous monumental structures in many sites, fortified by impressive walls and gates. Reports on the BMAC were mostly confined to Soviet journals, until the last years of the Soviet Union, so the findings were largely unknown to the West until Sarianidi's work began to be translated in the 1990s.

Just Another Day

by: Bbmak

You will always be the one that I adore,
Mean so much to me, but dreams you were before,
Its you Emily that makes me write this song,
Your eyes are open wide but still so much to see,
All that's new to you, seems so old to me,
Now I'm far away, a minute seems so long,
Its just another day without you,
Its just another day when I'm not there,
I'm gonna find a way to be so close to you,
You don't know how much I care,
Its just another day without you,
Its just another day when I'm not there,
I'm gonna give my love, my heart, my soul to you,
All this I'll give to you I swear,
I longing to hold you, feel you in my arms,
Never let you go, far from me for long,
Girl I promise you, my feelings are so strong,
Eyes are open wide but still so much to see,
All that's new to you seems so old to me,
When I'm far away, a minute seems so long,
Its just another day without you,
Its just another day that I'm not there,
I'm gonna give my love, my heart, my soul to you,
All this I'll give to you I swear,
If only you could read what's on my mind,
See right thorough my eyes,
You sooner realize,
Its just another day without you,
Its just another day that I'm not there,
I'm gonna give my love, my heart, my soul to you,
All this I'll give to you I swear,
Its just another day without you,
Its just another day when I'm not there,
I'm gonna find a way to be so close to you,
