OR Oct 2 via TK 245 am Met at airport and transfer to hotel. Oct 2: Day 2 Ashgabat (B,L) Today we discover the Turkmen capital with your guide. We will have a relaxed start today to assist in recovering from the long flight. We’ll depart the hotel at about 10 am. Horses for centuries have played a vital role in Central Asian life. We will drive 28 miles north-west of the city to visit a stud farm and see the beautiful Akhal-Teke horses. Turkmens began to breed these horses 5000 years ago and to this day they are not cross-breed. Their elegance, lean body and fine bone structure are impressive. The horses are used for racing and are well-known among Eurasian jockeys. We will see the stables and the care and training of the horses. The Akhal-Teke horse is considered to be the national symbol of Turkmenistan. From here we will visit the nearby Gokdepe Fortress. Gokdepe fortress was attacked in December 1880 by Russians during Tsar expansion to the territories of modern Central Asia. The siege of Gokdepe lasted twenty-three days, after which the city was captured. The astonishing Gokdepe Mosque was built to commemorate the soldiers who defended the fort. It is known for its mint-turquoise blue colored roof and white marble structure. Afterwards, visit Park of Independence, The Tower of Neutrality and the Arch of Neutrality (originally constructed next to the Central Square in the old city center, it was the landmark of Ashgabat. In late 2011 it re-opened at its new location at the southern edges of the city. The tripod construction in concrete, with its decorative legs and belt, was made by a Turkish company, and dedicated to the fact that Turkmenistan had been recognized as a neutral country by the United Nations Security Council on 12 December 1993. It remains, however, famous for the golden statue of the first president of Turkmenistan that crowns the top, but does not rotate anymore. (city-tour lasts 3-3.5 h) This afternoon, visit the National Museum of History & Ethnography. The museum has a rich collection of ancient artifacts from Turkmenistan. More than 500,000 exhibits are displayed here. The highlight of the museum is a collection of ivory, discovered during the excavations at the Old Nissa, residence of Parthian kings from the Arshakid Dynasty. Very interesting is collection of Turkmen carpets. (excursion lasts 2h). Please Note: The Tolkuchka Bazaar, hours 8 am-3 pm (aka Tolkuchka or Altyn Asyr Gundogar market) once described as “amazing,” one of the largest markets in Central Asia and the best place to shop for beautiful Turkmen carpets, handmade embroidery and other unique souvenirs, is no longer the attraction it once was. Now most merchants have moved to a modern market in a new location. The new bazaar is called Allyn Asyr Gundogar Bazaar. It is housed in several concrete plated pavilions. We will go to other more traditional markets later in the tour. Notably in Osh and Bishtek. Oct 3: Day 3 Excursion to Mary/Merv (B,L) We depart at 7 am this morning and drive to Mary on a good highway. We will make a few stops along the way including the ruins of the Seyit Jemaletdin Mosque, a Timurid-era monument (built 1446-1457) with a mosaic in the form of two dragons looking at each other at the top of the arch of the mosque. And Ambivert Caravanserai. The drive will be about 5 hours including the stops. Lunch on arrival in Mary. Afterwards drive to ancient Merv (26 km/20 min). In the 4th c BC, Merv was conquered by Alexander the Great. Located at the crossroads of various trade routes and civilizations, Merv came under Persian, Greek, Sassanian and Moslem rule and from the 11th century was the capital of the Seljuk Turks, who controlled an empire stretching from Afghanistan to Egypt. In the 13th century Merv was destroyed by the Mongols leaving only the ruins of these numerous civilizations. Visit the History Museum, Sultan Sanjar Mausoleum and Kys Kala, an unusual windowless castle, nicknamed "The House of Maidens Tears." A short (1 h) guided city-tour in Mary, a pleasant town close to Merv (26 km/20 min). Visit the Kurbankuli-Hadzhi mosque, Christ church (1900), History and Ethnographic Museum and the excellent oriental bazaar. There are many restaurants, small shops and a park. Have a snack here if you like (pay direct) as by time you get back to Ashgabat will be a late dinner. Evening flight to Ashgabat. Flt T5-132 dep 19.20 pm, arr 20.00 pm. Transfer to hotel for overnight in Ashgabat Oct 4: Day 4 Ashgabad & Nisa (B,L) Morning visit the ruins of Anau Mosque. The site includes the remains of the Bronze Age settlement Anau - Depe and the fortress of Anau. The name Anau derives from Abi-Nau, meaning "new water." The site was already inhabited in the 4-3 B.C. The culture of this period has been named Anau culture. Excavations began in 1904 when an American archaeologist R. Pempelli launched an expedition. The site includes a great wall and a ditch. Some skeletons of children, the remains of the painted ceramics, decorated with the geometrical ornament and the most ancient remains of the camels were discovered at the time of excavations. According to the scientists camels were domesticated at first just on the territory of the present day Turkmenistan. Anau fortress already existed during the Parthian period /3d c BC- 3d c. AD. The United States and Turkmenistan have launched a restoration project at the 15th-century Seit Jemmalatdin Mosque. The mosque is located in the southern part of the fortress. Its lofty, powerful outlines were visible from a great distance. One curious feature of the mosque is the mosaic decoration above the entrance, depicting two enormous 8-9 m dragons facing each other. Some experts think that dragons were totems of the Turkmenian tribe which inhabited Anau in the 15th century. Sheikh Jemaled- din probably belonged to this tribe. The mosque was destroyed by the 1948 earthquake. In the mean-time the location is still hallowed as the site of the grave of Sheikh Djemalledin. Childless couples bring children's clothes here as an offering, and baby dolls are swaddled and left in tiny hammocks slung between two sticks. This afternoon we’ll visit cable road at the foot of the Kopetdag Mountains. We then continue to the archaeological site of Old Nisa (20 min), once the capital of the Parthian state and a flourishing city between the 3rd century BC and the 3rd century AD. the township of New Nissa was the centre of the Parthian City. It was inhabited up to the 16th - 17th centuries. Old Nissa was a royal residence of the Parthian kings with the palace and temple, the depositories and the treasury. During the archaeological excavations about 2700 texts inscribed with black paint on the clay vessels fragments were discovered. The written language used in Nissa was of the Aramaic origin. It dates back to the 2nd century BC. (excursion 1.5 h) Onward to the Turkmenbashi Mosque, the biggest mosque in Central Asia, located 12 km from Ashgabat. (excursion lasts 1.5 h) THE AUTONOMOUS REPUBLIC OF KARAKALPAKSTAN AND UZBEKISTAN Oct 5: Day 5 Ashgabat - Dashoguz-Konye Urgench-Nukus (B,L) Early morning flight to Dashaguz T5 101 depart 610 am, arrive 7 am (flight schedule subject to change). On arrival, drive to Konye Urgench (approx 1.5 hr). We tour Konye-Urgench for approx. 1.5 hours. Because we aim to reach the border of Uzbekistan before it closes for their lunch break, we must keep the tour to a tight 1.5 hr. If the flight arrives late, we will tour and lunch in Konye Urgench to reach the border at 1 pm, when they re-open. Timings for border closure and re-opening are approximate. The ancient city of Konye-Urgench (Old Urgench) was destroyed and re-built seven times. Urgench (formely Gurgandzh) was the capital of the wealthy Persian Khorezmshakh state in the 10th century and one of Central Asia’s grandest cities. Situated in the Amu Darya delta in northern Turkmenistan and western Uzbekistan, it has a favorable geographic location - the crossing of two major caravan routes: east to China and from the south to the northwest to the Volga River. Expansion into a true center of civilization came quickly. In the early 11th century, Gurgandzh’s fame surpassed Bukhara’s splendor. During the13th century, Gurgandzh was the heart of the Islamic World but its governor rebelled against Genghis Khan. Mongols destroyed the famous city in 1221. Modern Kunya-Urgench never fully recovered. In Konye-Urgench, many historic buildings remain from the Khoresmshakh dynasty. They are examples of Islamic architecture of Central Asia. Many construction designs, rare dome shapes, and purity of color inspire admiration. Konye-Urgench blossomed during Kutlug Timur and his wife Tyurabek-khanym’s rule. The most magnificent architectural monuments were erected at this time. The first is the mausoleum of Tyurabek-khanym and the minaret of Kutlug-Timur.

  • Steppe Nomads in the Eurasian Trade1
    Volumen 51, N° 1, 2019. Páginas 85-93 Chungara Revista de Antropología Chilena STEPPE NOMADS IN THE EURASIAN TRADE1 NÓMADAS DE LA ESTEPA EN EL COMERCIO EURASIÁTICO Anatoly M. Khazanov2 The nomads of the Eurasian steppes, semi-deserts, and deserts played an important and multifarious role in regional, interregional transit, and long-distance trade across Eurasia. In ancient and medieval times their role far exceeded their number and economic potential. The specialized and non-autarchic character of their economy, provoked that the nomads always experienced a need for external agricultural and handicraft products. Besides, successful nomadic states and polities created demand for the international trade in high value foreign goods, and even provided supplies, especially silk, for this trade. Because of undeveloped social division of labor, however, there were no professional traders in any nomadic society. Thus, specialized foreign traders enjoyed a high prestige amongst them. It is, finally, argued that the real importance of the overland Silk Road, that currently has become a quite popular historical adventure, has been greatly exaggerated. Key words: Steppe nomads, Eurasian trade, the Silk Road, caravans. Los nómadas de las estepas, semidesiertos y desiertos euroasiáticos desempeñaron un papel importante y múltiple en el tránsito regional e interregional y en el comercio de larga distancia en Eurasia. En tiempos antiguos y medievales, su papel superó con creces su número de habitantes y su potencial económico. El carácter especializado y no autárquico de su economía provocó que los nómadas siempre experimentaran la necesidad de contar con productos externos agrícolas y artesanales. Además, exitosos Estados y comunidades nómadas crearon una demanda por el comercio internacional de bienes exóticos de alto valor, e incluso proporcionaron suministros, especialmente seda, para este comercio.

  • Soviet Central Asia and the Preservation of History
    humanities Article Soviet Central Asia and the Preservation of History Craig Benjamin Frederik J Meijer Honors College, Grand Valley State University, Allendale, MI 49401, USA; [email protected] Received: 23 May 2018; Accepted: 9 July 2018; Published: 20 July 2018 Abstract: Central Asia has one of the deepest and richest histories of any region on the planet. First settled some 6500 years ago by oasis-based farming communities, the deserts, steppe and mountains of Central Asia were subsequently home to many pastoral nomadic confederations, and also to large scale complex societies such as the Oxus Civilization and the Parthian and Kushan Empires. Central Asia also functioned as the major hub for trans-Eurasian trade and exchange networks during three distinct Silk Roads eras. Throughout much of the second millennium of the Common Era, then under the control of a succession of Turkic and Persian Islamic dynasties, already impressive trading cities such as Bukhara and Samarkand were further adorned with superb madrassas and mosques. Many of these suffered destruction at the hands of the Mongols in the 13th century, but Timur and his Timurid successors rebuilt the cities and added numerous impressive buildings during the late-14th and early-15th centuries. Further superb buildings were added to these cities by the Shaybanids during the 16th century, yet thereafter neglect by subsequent rulers, and the drying up of Silk Roads trade, meant that, by the mid-18th century when expansive Tsarist Russia began to incorporate these regions into its empire, many of the great pre- and post-Islamic buildings of Central Asia had fallen into ruin.

  • A Complete Etymology-Based Hundred Wordlist of Semitic Updated: Items 35–54
    Alexander Militarev Russian State University for the Humanities / Santa Fe Institute A complete etymology-based hundred wordlist of Semitic updated: Items 35–54 The paper represents the second part of the author's etymological analysis of the Swadesh wordlist for Semitic languages (the first part having already appeared in Vol. 3 of the same Journal). Twenty more items are discussed and assigned Proto-Semitic reconstructions, with strong additional emphasis on suggested Afrasian cognates. Keywords: Semitic, Afrasian (Afro-Asiatic), etymology glottochronology, lexicostatistics. The object of the present study is analysis of the second portion1 of Swadesh’s 100­wordlist for Semitic. It is a follow-up to the author’s second attempt at compiling a complete Swadesh wordlist for most Semitic languages that would fully represent all the branches, groups and subgroups of this linguistic family and provide etymological background for every possible item. It is another step towards figuring out the taxonomy and building a detailed and com- prehensive genetic tree of said family, and, eventually, of the Afrasian (Afro-Asiatic) macro- family with all its branches on a lexicostatistical/glottochronological basis. Several similar attempts, including those by the author (Mil. 2000, Mil. 2004, Mil. 2007, Mil. 2008, Mil. 2010), have been undertaken since M. Swadesh introduced his method of glot- tochronology (Sw. 1952 and Sw. 1955). In this paper, as well as in my previous studies in ge- netic classification, I have relied on Sergei Starostin’s glottochronological method (v. Star.) which is a radically improved and further elaborated version of Swadesh’s method. That the present portion includes only twenty items out of the 100­wordlist, instead of a second third (33 items), as I had previously planned, is justified by my efforts to adduce as many Afrasian parallels to Semitic words as possible — more than I did within the first por- tion.

  • New Reality and Nagorno-Karabakh: the Cemre That Fell to Nagorno-Karabakh
    Tarih İncelemeleri Dergisi XXXVI / 1, 2021, 209-251 DOI: 10.18513/egetid.974614 THE WAR BETWEEN PERIOD AND EXCLAMATION MARK: NEW REALITY AND NAGORNO-KARABAKH: THE CEMRE THAT FELL TO NAGORNO-KARABAKH * ** Vefa KURBAN - Oğuzhan ERGÜN Abstract Having always been competition fields thanks to their geopolitical impact potential, the Caucasus and Turkestan have been among the Strategic Focus Centres of Russia since the Tsarist times. While Russia, whose strategic culture has produced expansionist policies for centuries, constantly expanded its political borders, it clashed with the Ottoman Empire and Iran in the Caucasus field of competition. From the second half of the 19th century, the Kazakh regions and independent Turkic states (Khiva, Kokand and Bukhara) were occupied by the Tsarist Russia. The Imperial Age was also a period in which Russia expanded its sphere of influence over the Ottoman Empire through its patronage policies. Having embraced “New Reality” in the regional power projection in the near past, Turkey stayed away from the region for a long time. In addition to some ethnic and cultural problems paused by the Cold War, problems in the partition of the territory came to light again following the end of the Cold War and the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the Caucasus geography, from south to north, went back into the period when various national issues were at the forefront and conflicts were experienced. The occupation Armenia carried out with the sponsorship and de facto military support of Russia violated the sovereignty rights of Azerbaijan, caused great social and economic harm, deteriorated the geopolitical impact potential of Azerbaijan and Turkey, and annihilated the possibility of direct connection between Turkey and Turkestan.
