We have the oldest monuments in Samarkand, Bukhara, Jizzakh, Andijan.
Yes, I have heard of Bukhara?
Umada tell me a little about Bukhara?
Also, in order to determine the age of the city, extensive archaeological excavations were conducted throughout the entire Bukhara oasis, in such large archaeological monuments as Poykend, Kurgoni Vardonze, Romitan, Varakhsha, Khoja Boston, Kozimontepa, Aksochtepa and other city ruins. In the course of archaeological research, the archaeological finds were compared with the information provided in written sources about Bukhara, and the following conclusions were drawn. The first settlements in the lower reaches of the Zarafshan River were created as early as the Gyoz period (2nd half of the 2nd millennium BC), and they consisted of thin semi-basements (research conducted in the region of the dry Mohondarya network confirms this); In the 6th-5th centuries BC, unfortified settlements appeared in the deltas of large branches of the Zarafshan River. In the 4th century BC, the area where the Bukhara Arch will be built was surrounded by a high defensive wall and a wide moat, and three fortified settlements were located at its foot (such settlements are typical of the agricultural regions of Central Asia from the beginning of the 1st millennium BC). One of these settlements was called Firobdiz, the second Navmichkat, and the third Bukhara. Later, these three settlements joined together and continued to develop, becoming a large city - the commercial and administrative center of the Bukhara oasis.
Local mythological traditions reflected in the "History of Bukhara" by the 10th-century historian Muhammad Narshahi connect the founding of the ancient part of the city, the Ark fortress, to Siyovush or Afrosiyab, that is, Alp Er Tonga, the heroes of the heroic epics, thus narrating in a way that belongs to distant times. However, the fortresses in the oasis, such as Vardonze, Romitan, Varakhsha, and a commercial city like Poykend are considered to be older than the city of Bukhara.

One of the rulers of the Bukhara oasis is the Asbar coin. VI-VII century.

Coins found in Bukhara testify to the development of trade relations and commodity-money relations here. Looking at the coins, it is possible to clearly observe the change of the ruling dynasties, the names of the rulers, the names of the titles, the signs of the dynasty - stamps and other images. However, in the territory of the city, a treasure minted in imitation of the dirhams of the Seleucid ruler Yevtidem was found only in 1937.
Foundation of Shahristan
On the east side of the Bukhara fortress, the city itself - Shahristan (area 28-30 hectares) was gradually formed on the basis of independent fortresses (castles) of 3 or 4 peasants (high zamindars). The founding of Shahristan is interpreted in connection with the name of the Turkish ruler Sheri Kishvar, who came to the city with his troops in 560-580 years at the request of Bukhara farmers who moved from Bukhara to Turkestan and Taroz due to the oppression of Abruy.
The first Arab raids on Bukhara consisted of plundering raids for loot and revenue.
The gradual introduction of Islam to Bukhara took place at the beginning of the 8th century. Qutayba ibn Muslim (704-715), the viceroy of the Arab caliphate in Khurasan, stationed a permanent Arab army in the city and issued an order to distribute half of the existing houses to the Arabs. He appointed Ayyub ibn Hasan as the first Arab emir of Bukhara. Qutayba kept the power of ancient local dynasties in Bukhara by enthronement of Tughshada, who converted to Islam. In this way, Bukharodites became rulers together with the Arabs in their lands.
Mag'oki Attori is a mosque built on the site of a heathen temple located in the Mokh market during the Karakhanid period, in the 12th century.
It was Qutayba himself who in 713 Bukhara arch converted a pagan temple into a mosque and ordered the city's residents to gather for prayer every Friday for 2 dirhams. In the northern part of the Registan Square, the first Eid mosque - the Prayer Hall with a gate called Ma'bad (place of worship) was built. Shortly after that, a large Muslim cemetery - a cemetery - appeared on the north side of this prayer hall. The Banu Hanzaliyya Mosque (later, apparently, was called Ash-Sham) was built on the site of a Christian church in the southwestern part of Shahristan. The mosque of Banu Sa'diya is located in these areas, the mosques of Banu Qurayshiya on the northwest side , and the mosques of Banu Hamdonia on the northeast side. In short, the Quraysh, Sa'd, Hanzala and Hamdan tribes of the Arabs occupied Shahristan. Ayyub, the first imam of Bukhara, who named him Ahmed, took over the fortress, which belonged to a noble farmer named Khin, located in the southeastern part of Shahristan. Outside Shahristan, the heathen temple located in the Mokh market was converted into the Mag'oki Attori mosque.
After Arab tribes settled in Bukhara city, the walls between mahallas - districts were gradually removed, and after some time, new residential buildings appeared in their place.
After the death of Qutayba ibn Muslim in 715, Bukhara began to gradually come out of Arab control. In AD 728-729, as a result of a strong revolt of the Sugdians, supported by the western Turkic khan, the Turks, the city was out of Arab control for a year, and then fell under their influence again.
Very interesting, I always dream of going to Uzbekistan.
Of course, we also love our history and will always be proud of it.
