Uzbekistan. Full History

The Republic of Uzbekistan is a young state, but its history goes back to ancient times. For centuries, this land has been a crossroads of cultures and incredible events. The Great Silk Road passed through here, and Zoroastrianism, Buddhism, and Islam developed. Timur turned Samarkand into the largest cultural center of the region, where many scholars of that time lived and worked. The armies of great conquerors of the past, such as Alexander the Great and Tamerlane, also made their mark on these lands. "While the people are alive, the land will not run dry" - goes the popular proverb. So be it!
