  • Qala of Muqanna: Routes of Search (Preliminary Report)
    _____________________________________________________________ART-SANAT 2/2014___________________________________________________________ QALA OF MUQANNA: ROUTES OF SEARCH (PRELIMINARY REPORT) KAZİM ABDULLAEV Dr., Mimar Sinan Güzel Sanatlar Üniversitesi Taşınabilir Kültür Varlıklarını Koruma ve Onarım Yüksekokulu [email protected] NABİ KHUSHVAKTOV Dr., Director of Shakhrisabz Museum of History of Material Culture of name Amir Temur, Uzbekistan [email protected] ABSTRACT Rebellion of Muqanna was one of the interesting pages in the history of Central Asia of 8th century. However, search of Qala of Mukanna fortress where he lived several years was not the subject of special study. The goal of this article is to compare the data of important written sources with archaeological situation and specifically recently discovered site located in the mountains north of Hissar ridge surrounding Shahrisyabz Oasis on the south side. Location and the special features of this fortress nearby Kesh-Shakhrisyabz largely correspond to the descriptions of medieval authors. Discovery of stone structures located near the fortress are likely to be houses, buildings of Arab commander al-Harashī. Further archaeological studies may confirm or refute the assumptions.

    “With A Little Help From Our Friends:”1 The Development of Combat Intelligence in the American Expeditionary Forces, 1917-1918 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By James L. Doty III, M.A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2010 Dissertation Committee: Dr. John F. Guilmartin, Advisor Dr. Nathan Rosenstein Dr. Stephanie J. Smith 1 The title is inspired by the Beatles song, “With a Little Help From My Friends,” Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, 1967. Copyright by James L. Doty III 2010 Disclaimer The views expressed in this work are those of the author and do not reflect the official policy or position of the United States Army, Department of Defense, or the U.S. Government. Abstract The United States Army, like its counterparts in Europe, especially the United Kingdom, struggled to achieve recognition as a profession during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Army developed educational institutions, improved standards of conduct, and further developed specialized knowledge in areas such as intelligence. US army officers and military officials sponsored these changes knowing and sometimes adapting from similar developments in other armies. When the First World War started in 1914, the American army was close to par with the British army in its development of intelligence as a specialized field and body of military knowledge. By 1917, Britain and the other belligerents had tremendously advanced their intelligence practices as part of the broader development of warfighting techniques through three years of warfare.
