The history of
Ouzbéksitan (and the Central Asia) particularly rich and is animated.
Is my idea to try to draw up the broad outline bus of them how to
appreciate the visit of a country without knowing the history of it?
The kings perses
invaded the area about the 6th century before JC. At this time, one
spoke about Khorezm, Sogdiane (between the two most significant
rivers of the area: Amu Darya and Syr Daria) and of Baktrie (approximately,
current Afghanistan).

A few centuries later, it was Alexandre the Large one who arrived.
Thus the Greek culture penetrated in the area. It was the beginning
of a culture and the civilization of most astonishing and
attractive: Sérinde. Boudhas had Greek profiles. The kingdom
greco-bactrien survived dead of the large conqueror during a few
centuries then the kingdom of Kushan had its moment of glory. |

At the beginning of our era, civilization sogdienne radiated with
all its glare. The sogdien was the common language besides in all
the area. A richness and an obvious wellbeing were made possible by
many trade with amongst other things China. |

The 6th century
constitutes one of the greatest fracture in Central Asia. It
undergoes the Arab invasion and became Moslem. The old worships (amongst
other things zoroastrists, Manicheans and nestoriens) were replaced. |

The Arab incursions
were led to the beginning of Merv (in current Turkmenistan).
Attempts took place well to create alliances between the local lords
but they never succeeded. At the beginning of the 8th century, the
Arabs settled in Central Asia, mainly in the great centers which
were Samarkand and Bukhara. Gradually, the Arab caliphate lost of
its influence while knowing a great cultural and artistic radiation.
Thus, according to files dating from the 8th century, the marriage
was carried out by mutual assent and was recorded in a legal act.
After ceaseless quarrels between dynasties perses, the tribes
turcophones seized these rich person quoted so much coveted. From
there, Seldjoukides went down towards Baghdad and Damas.
