THE GREAT SILK ROAD

The Great Silk Road comprised thousands of caravan trails and paths crossing the enormous Asian continent. These routas passed through Central Asia and Asia Minor to the Eastern Mediterranean ports and further on to the West. There was a great demand for silk in Europe and at that time it was worth its weight in gold. One of the most difficult and poorly studied section of the Great Silk Road ran through the territory of what today are the sovereign Central Asian republics. It was a time of rapid development of cities, the arts and the artistic schools, the time for the constructoin of book depositories, temples, palaces,caravan-serais. Missionaries and pilgrims followed caravans from East to West and from West to East bringing with them their religions, their costums, rites, and their culture. This facilitated the lively exchange of material and cultural values.

Many foreign tourist companies display great interest in ancient culturul centres located along the Great Silk Road . The Republic`s Culture Fund has drawn up a long-term program «The Great Silk Road» which aimed at re-creating the cultural and historical heritage resulting from centuries-old contacts along the road and in regions adjoining it. The Acalemics of Sciences of the Uzbek, Kirghiz, Kazak, and Turkmen republics organized a joint expedition along the major routes of the Great Silk Road.
