delta region.
There is some relationship between Koi Krylgan Kala and
Khwarezm. It was built in the 4th-3rd century BCE.[2] The Apa-Saka tribe destroyed it c. 200 BCE, but later it was rebuilt into a settlement, which lasted until c. 400 CE.[3] It was discovered in 1938 by Sergey Pavlovitch Tolstov, leader of the Chorasmian Archaeological-Ethnological Expedition. It contained a Mazdian
fire temple and was decorated with frescos of wine consumption.
The explorer Sergey Tolstov drew a reconstruction of the ancient fortress.[4]
