No traveller, ethnographer or historian outside that circle has independently located or documented such a body.What would resolve this An independent nineteenth or early twentieth century record, travel account or local Central Asian source naming a body matching Gurdjieff's description, unconnected to Gurdjieff's own circle.OpenCentral Asian history and the history of esoteric movementsJames Webb, The Harmonious Circle: The Lives and Work of G.
