In 1862 Aurél Stein was born in Pest in the late 19th century and the first half of the 20th century was an outstanding Hungarian archeologist of international fame. He spent most of his life in British service in India, and from this point on led several outstanding geographic and archaeological expeditions to the inner Asian sections of the ancient Silk Road, but also intensively researched the territories of today's Pakistan and Eastern Iran. In terms of archeological methods, it can only be mentioned on one page with the most famous British, German and French archaeologists of its time, and it has particularly carefully documented the experience of its expeditions and explorations. His diaries, records and maps of digging are still of the highest order today, but it is worth highlighting his photographs: his expeditions, geographical and archaeological researches and excavations are recorded on thousands of photographs. His research has laid down modern Silk Road researches, and his exciting life is indeed full of adventure films.
