The 2nd day
Mary-gonurdepe –Museum of History
After the breakfast, the group will visit the fifth center of civilization Margush/ Gonurdepe. A remarkable Bronze Age civilization existed here, known variously as Margush, meaning ‘lowland’, or by the Greek name of Margiana. It has been gradually uncovered since the early 1970s by belated Professor Viktor Sarianidi – the leader of Margiana Archaeological Expedition. The Bronze Age sites are to be found at or beyond the northern edge of the present-day oasis, in land which is now desert. Sarianidi argues that the Bactria- Margiana complex was a major center of ancient civilization, and has speculated that Margiana may even have been a birthplace of Zoroastrianism.
