The shiny coat of the breed led to their nickname, "Golden Horses". These horses are adapted to severe climatic conditions and are thought to be one of the oldest existing horse breeds. There are currently about 6,600 Akhal-Tekes in the world, mostly in Turkmenistan, although they are also found throughout Europe and North America. Akhal is the name of the line of oases along the north slope of the Kopet Dag mountains in Turkmenistan. It has been inhabited by the Tekke tribe of Turkmens. There are several theories regarding the original ancestry of the Akhal-Teke, some dating back thousands of years.

Edmund O'Donovan described Merv as of 1881 as :...a heap of melancholy ruins.

Teke Teke
, also spelled ''Teke-Teke'', ''Teketeke'', or ''Teke teke'', is a Japanese urban legend about the ghost of a schoolgirl who is said to have fallen onto a railway line, where her body was cut in half by a train. She is an ''onryō'', or a vengeful spirit, who lurks in urban areas and around train stations at night. Since she no longer has a lower body, she travels on either her hands or elbows, dragging her upper torso and making a scratching or "''teke teke''"-like sound. If she encounters an individual, she will chase them and slice them in half at the torso, killing them in such a way that mimics her own disfigurement, Some say that Teke Teke only steals her victim's legs; in certain variations, ''Teke Teke'' will ask the individual to tell her the location of her missing legs. Overview Common elements of the legend include that ''Teke Teke'' is the vengeful ghost or spirit (also known as an ''onryō'') of a young woman or schoolgirl who fell on a railway line, which resulted i ...
