We believe that focus on not only the large and impressing World Heritage Sites like Samarkand or Buchara, but even older and obviously less monumental sites like Sarmishsai with its landscape, petroglyph complex and other prehistoric monuments greatly will help build a consciousness of the long lines of history, which shaped the present. |
This also means that the children and young people of Uzbekistan – the next generation of nation builders and consolidators – together with their teachers comprise an important target of education and consciousness concerning the rich and varied heritage of the nation. Sarmishsai with its thousand years of human activity could become a pride to the Uzbek nation and a focus of the scientific world.
Thousands of petroglyphs left by the disappeared and present peoples show the diversity of aesthetical, religious and cultural traditions formed and developed within this territory beginning from Neolithic time. In total, for the major part of this region of mountains and foothills ecosystems this type of monuments constitutes an essential and most representative part of cultural heritage witnessing to for the most important characteristic features of the traditional desert/steppes civilizations |
