"Let's dive into H.P Lovecraft's short story "The Doom that Came to Sarnath". First published in June 1920. According to the tale, more than 10,000 years ago, a race of shepherd people colonized the banks of the river Ai in a land called Mnar, which rose to great intellectual and mercantile prowess. Craving more land, a group of these hardy people migrated to the shores of a lonely and vast lake at the heart of Mnar, founding the metropolis of Sarnath. But the settlers were not alone. At the other side of the lake was the ancient, grey-stone city of Ib, inhabited by a queer race who had descended from the moon. The people of Sarnath despise these creatures and decided to destroy the whole city & its dwellers, and took their worshipped idol, Bokrug, as a winning trophy."
