In today's episode, we're diving into the ancient and awe-inspiring Sarmysh-Sai Gorge, just 45 km northeast of Navoi, Uzbekistan. This isn't just any historical site; it's a sprawling 20-square-kilometer "gallery" packed with cultural and historical monuments from ancient times to the Middle Ages.
Ready for some numbers that'll blow your mind? Over 10,000 petroglyphs—yes, you heard that right—have been discovered here. From intricate carvings along the Say River to nearby burial mounds and sacred spots, this place is a history buff's dream come true.
But it's not just about quantity; it's about variety too. Whether you're into the Stone and Bronze Age carvings of mighty bulls-turs or the animal-style art from the early Iron Age, there's something for everyone. We've even got Medieval art featuring domestic animals and Arabic inscriptions!
And get this—the oldest carvings go back to 7th to 2nd millennia BC, featuring art styles you'll also find in far-off places like Azerbaijan and the Arabian Peninsula. Intrigued? Stay tuned as we dive deeper into the stories behind these ancient masterpieces. You won't want to miss it!
