Uzbekistan
Tashkent Metro Map
Uzbekistan officially the Republic of Uzbekistan is one of the six independent Turkic states. It is a doubly landlocked country in Central Asia, formerly part of the Soviet Union. It shares borders with Kazakhstan to the west and to the north, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan to the east, and Afghanistan and Turkmenistan to the south.
Once part of the Persian Samanid and later Timurid empires, the region was conquered in the early 16th century by Uzbek nomads, who spoke an Eastern Turkic language. Most of Uzbekistan’s population today belong to the Uzbek ethnic group and speak the Uzbek language, one of the family of Turkic languages. Uzbekistan was incorporated into the Russian Empire in the 19th century and in 1924 became a constituent republic of the Soviet Union, known as the Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic (Uzbek SSR). It has been an independent republic since December 1991. Uzbekistan's economy relies mainly on commodity production, including cotton, gold, uranium, potassium, natural gas and tourism.

According to the Iranian epic poem
Shahnameh, the city was founded by King Siavash, son of Shah Kai Kavoos, one of the
mythical Iranian kings of the Pishdak (Pishdadian) Dynasty. He said that he wanted to
create this town because of its many rivers, its hot lands, and its location on the silk
road. As the legend goes, Siavash was accused by his stepmother Sudabeh of seducing her
and even attempting to violate her. To test his innocence he underwent trial by fire.
After emerging unscathed from amidst the flames, he crossed the

Samarkand is the second-largest city in Uzbekistan and the
capital of Samarqand Province. The city is most noted for its central position
on the Silk Road between China and the West, and for being an Islamic centre for
scholarly study. In the 14th century, it became the capital of the empire of
Timur (Tamerlane), and is the site of his mausoleum (the Gur-e Amir). The
Bibi-Khanym Mosque remains one of the city's most notable landmarks. The
Registan was the ancient centre of the city. In 2001, UNESCO added the city to
its World Heritage List as Samarkand – Crossroads of Cultures.
Samarkand is one of the oldest inhabited cities in the world, prospering from
its location on the trade route between China and the Mediterranean (Silk Road).
At times Samarkand has been one of the greatest cities of Central Asia.
Founded circa 700 BC by the Sogdians, Samarkand has been one of the main centres
of Iranian civilization from its early days. It was already the capital of the
Sogdian satrapy under the Achaemenid dynasty of Persia when Alexander the Great
conquered it in 329 BC. The Greeks referred to Samarkand as Maracanda. Although
a Persian-speaking region, it was not united politically with Iran most of the
times between the disintegration of the Seleucid Empire and the Arab conquest
(except at the time of early Sassanids, such as Shapur I. In the 6th century
it was within the domain of the Turkic kingdom of the Göktürks. Samarkand is the
2nd largest center for economy, science, and culture in Uzbekistan, after
Tashkent. The Institute of Archeology at the Academy of Sciences of the Republic
of Uzbekistan is based at Samarqand. The Province's UNESCO World Heritage Site
architectural monuments are world famous, and make Samarkand the largest center
for international tourism in the country. Samarqand Province also has
significant natural resources, including construction materials such as marble,
granite, limestone, carbonate, and chalk. The Province's major agricultural
activities are cotton and cereal growing, winemaking and sericulture. In terms
of industry, metal processing (spare parts for automobiles and combines), food
processing, textiles, and ceramics industries are the most active in the area.
The province has a well-developed transport infrastructure, with over 400 km of
railways and 4100 km of surfaced roads. The telecommunication infrastructure is
also well developed
