ASATULLOYEV TEMUR’S PRESENTATION

• In Surkhandarya region much attention is paid to mountain and ecological tourism. A number of ancient archaeological and architectural monuments, ruins of ancient Zoroastrian, Nestorian and Buddhist fortresses and settlements, as well as monuments of Islamic architecture have been preserved in Termez and its surroundings.

• The architectural complex of Hakim at-Termezi, the memorial complex of Sultan Saodat, Khanaka Kyrk-Kyz, the Kara-Tepa Buddhist complex, Fayaztepa Buddhist temple, Jarkurgan minaret, Zurmala Buddhist mortar, Teshik-Tash cave (where in 1938-1939, scientists have discovered the remains of Neanderthal child), Dalverzintepe settlement are the main historical monuments of Surkhandarya region.

Hakim at Termezi mausoleum. This mausoleum was rebuilt by L.Voronina in 1945. It is considered as a pilgrimage place for people

• The complex of Sultan Saodat, which was formed between the 11th and 17th centuries, has the graves of the influential Sayyid dynasty of Termez. The Termez Sayyids claimed direct descendancy of the Islamic prophet, Muhammad. The founder of the family was Termez Sayyid Hassan al-Amir, the fifth generation of Husayn ibn Ali, the grandson of Muhammad.

• Sultan Saodat complex is a series of religious structures - mausoleums, mosques, khanaqa - built around a central passage. The oldest here are two large single-chamber, square, domed mausoleums (11th century). They are united by a 15th-century iwan.

Kyrk-Kyz in translation means «forty women». Scientists didn't define exactly the date of construction of khanaka Kyrk-Kyz, approximately dating from the VIth to the XIth centuries. The building was in the western part of Termez and was in the form of a square (54x54 m), with big towers in the corners.   In ours, times ruins of Kyrk-Kyz are surrounded by fields and remind a castle. However, the first impression is wrong. There is distinct planning inside of the construction. The main hall was used for dervish`s ecstatic rituals. The suite of entrance rooms divides the construction into 4 independent blocks.  

Zurmala was the first Buddhist monument discovered in the territory of Central Asia in the early XX century. Its belonging to Buddhist cultic structures was identified by A. Strelkov, a member of scientific expedition of the Museum of Oriental Cultures as early as 1927. In total, about 40 monuments of Buddhism, half of which is located in the territory of modern Uzbekistan, were found and studied in Central Asia.

• Teshik-tash Cave is a place of pilgrimage for Uzbek people, and not only them. It was discovered in the middle of the last century. One of the archaeologists who worked here discovered a cave, and in it - remains of a Neanderthal boy. Rock paintings made in the Mousterian era, and the parking of primitive people were also found there.Today Teshik-tash deservedly bears the title of the most important archeological monument of the Mousterian period. Thanks to scientists, it was possible to accurately reproduce the image of a boy whose remains were found in a cave. In addition, the find has led to many discoveries concerning the appearance and lifestyle of Neanderthals. Therefore, it is not surprising that Teshik-tash attracts archaeologists and historians as a magnet.
• Among the tourists there are many of those who hope for a miraculous healing. Well, of course, a lot of those who love extreme tourism and mountains visit here as well.

THANKS TO ALL THOSE WHO PAID ATTENTION
