of the oldest cities on the Great Silk Road between China and Europe. The
earliest references to Tashkent as a city settlement appeared in written
sources in the 2nd century BC. In the Chinese annals the city is called Yueni
or Shi; in the records of the Persian king, Shampur, it appears as Chach; and
in other Arabic sources, Shash. The name Tashkent first appeared in Turkish
documents of the 9th to 12th centuries.
From ancient
times, a favourable geographical position and mild climate made Tashkent one of
the main Silk Road cities. In the 14–15th centuries it was the part of the
Timurid Empire, and in the 16th century it was under the control of the
Sheibanids dynasty. In 1865, after the conquest of Mikhail Chernyaev, Russian
military leader, the city became under the rule of the Russian Empire and
Russian government was established here. In 1930 Tashkent was declared the capital
of Uzbekistan, former Uzbek SSR.
The history of
Samarkand is about 2,750 years old and has witnessed many upheavals during the
times of Alexander the Great, the Arabic Conquest, Genghis-Khan Conquest and
lastly Tamerlane’s. Hence, the culture of Samarkand was developed and mixed
together with the Iranian, Indian, Mongolian and a bit of the Western and
Eastern cultures.
Over the
history this legendary city on the Silk Road went through growths and decays,
suffered from destroying invasions of foreign rulers and again revived,
becoming more beautiful. Trade routes to the west, to Persia, to the east, to
China, to the south, to India, intersected here and formed intersections of the
Silk Road.
Today Samarkand
is the treasure of unique antiquity spirit. It is included in the UNESCO World
Heritage List due to the abundance of material and spiritual values. Unique
monuments of ancient architecture, heritage of scientific and arts schools,
artisans workshops are well-known around the world.
Samarkand is
one of the most ancient cities in the world. As other first centers of human
civilization – Babylon and Memphis, Athens and Rome, Alexandria and Byzantium –
Samarkand was intended to go through many events and shakes.
History of
Samarkand goes back in remote days. Archeological finds and chronicle records
of eyewitnesses and ancient historians allowed to establish with full
reliability that a man lived on the territory of modern city many centuries
before the Common Era.
The centerpiece of Ural Tansykbaev House
Museum is his studio, where everything has remained in the same state as it
used to be in 1974, and even the easel still keeps his unfinished painting
“Charvak in 1973”. In addition to the studio, the house includes a living room,
where the artist received visitors, a bedroom, and also a private office.
Everything in this house is left on its place as it was during the artist’s
life. Also, in 1994, timed to the Tansykbaev’s 90-th anniversary, a two-storey
exhibition hall adjacent to the house museum was built on to demonstrate large
canvases and the paintings that were not displayed in his house.
