  • The Social Classes Who Served in the Great Silk Road Service System
    International Journal of Social Science And Human Research ISSN(print): 2644-0679, ISSN(online): 2644-0695 Volume 03 Issue 06 June 2020 Page: 64-66 The Social Classes Who Served in the Great Silk Road Service System Anvar Achilov Tuychievich Abstract: In this article some features of the service system of the Great Silk Road are discussed based on historical sources and literature. Keywords: Great Silk Road, caravan routes, service system, convoy carrier, messenger, medicine, hire, postal service, ambassadors, shopping cities, spies. Introduction It is known from history that the system of service on all types of roads (domestic, foreign, international, transit) has played an important role. The Great Silk Road and its branches are no exception. In addition, the development of the service system on various roads includes many issues such as the composition of trade caravans, the condition (replacement) of camels and horses, guides, sarbons, the supply of food (fodder), water to traders, ambassadors or tourists and animals. The activity of the service system on caravan routes, more precisely its scope, also depended on the composition of the caravan. Therefore, first of all, it is necessary to briefly dwell on the issue of caravan composition. The composition of the caravan was usually determined by the proximity of the city or country, the natural geographical conditions of the area where the trade caravan passes, the condition and level of safety of roads, the availability and accessibility of road infrastructure, the convenience of the season and other similar factors. The Main Results and Findings In the Middle Ages, traders worked in large caravans along the Great Silk Road.

  • Looking at Gandhāra
    HISTORIA I ŚWIAT, nr 4 (2015) ISSN 2299-2464 Kumar ABHIJEET (Magadh University, India) Looking at Gandhāra Keywords: Art History, Silk Route, Gandhāra It is not the object of the story to convey a happening per se, which is the purpose of information; rather, it embeds it in the life of the storyteller in order to pass it on as experience to those listening. It thus bears the marks of the storyteller much as the earthen vessel bears the marks of the potter's hand. —Walter Benjamin, "On Some Motifs in Baudelaire" Discovery of Ancient Gandhāra The beginning of the 19th century was revolutionary in terms of western world scholars who were eager to trace the conquest of Alexander in Asia, in speculation of the route to India he took which eventually led to the discovery of ancient Gandhāra region (today, the geographical sphere lies between North West Pakistan and Eastern Afghanistan). In 1808 CE, Mountstuart Elphinstone was the first British envoy sent in Kabul when the British went to win allies against Napoleon. He believed to identify those places, hills and vineyard described by the itinerant Greeks or the Greek Sources on Alexander's campaign in India or in their memory of which the Macedonian Commanders were connected. It is significant to note that the first time in modern scholarship the word “Thupa (Pali word for stupa)” was used by him.1 This site was related to the place where Alexander’s horse died and a city called Bucephala (Greek. Βουκεφάλα ) was erected by Alexander the Great in honor of his black horse with a peculiar shaped white mark on its forehead.

  • On Bhutanese and Tibetan Dzongs **
    ON BHUTANESE AND TIBETAN DZONGS ** Ingun Bruskeland Amundsen** “Seen from without, it´s a rocky escarpment! Seen from within, it´s all gold and treasure!”1 There used to be impressive dzong complexes in Tibet and areas of the Himalayas with Tibetan influence. Today most of them are lost or in ruins, a few are restored as museums, and it is only in Bhutan that we find the dzongs still alive today as administration centers and monasteries. This paper reviews some of what is known about the historical developments of the dzong type of buildings in Tibet and Bhutan, and I shall thus discuss towers, khars (mkhar) and dzongs (rdzong). The first two are included in this context as they are important in the broad picture of understanding the historical background and typological developments of the later dzongs. The etymological background for the term dzong is also to be elaborated. Backdrop What we call dzongs today have a long history of development through centuries of varying religious and socio-economic conditions. Bhutanese and Tibetan histories describe periods verging on civil and religious war while others were more peaceful. The living conditions were tough, even in peaceful times. Whatever wealth one possessed had to be very well protected, whether one was a layman or a lama, since warfare and strife appear to have been endemic. Security measures * Paper presented at the workshop "The Lhasa valley: History, Conservation and Modernisation of Tibetan Architecture" at CNRS in Paris Nov. 1997, and submitted for publication in 1999. ** Ingun B. Amundsen, architect MNAL, lived and worked in Bhutan from 1987 until 1998.
