Silk Road connected many nations through trade and cultural exchange and gave a powerful impetus to the development of these peoples.
Archeologists have uncovered the remains of various structures in the ancient part of the Kungrad city: palaces and houses of citizens, caravanserais, craft workshops, baths, etc. During excavations were also found various products from metal, painted pottery, coins minted in the city.
Today valuable specimens and mysterious potteries made by our ancestors are in museums of art and history, not only in Tashkent, but also in St. Petersburg, Kiev and Paris, London, Vienna and New York.
