History of Uzbekistan

The rich history of Uzbekistan goes back thousands of years. According to the archaeologists, this is one of the oldest places of human life. It is known that the territory was inhabited long before our era, even in the early Paleolithic, as shown by the finds, which are represented by the dwellings found in the Baysun-Tau Mountains and the instruments – in Samarkand.

Neanderthals lived here in the late Paleolithic. Their burial found in the Teshik-Tash grotto belongs to the Mousterian culture. Over the thousands of years, the great empires were formed and disintegrated on the territory of our country, which left an undeniable mark in the history and culture of Uzbekistan.
