00:05In Uzbekistan, history does not sleep behind museum glass.
00:27Recognized by UNESCO for its outstanding cultural and historical significance,
00:32many of these sites stand as living monuments.
00:35Samarkand is widely considered as the crossroads of cultures.
00:39Behind us, the first building, very oldest one,
00:42which was constructed by Uruk-Bag, the grandson of the Timur.
00:47He started to taught here scientific science, religious science, even the medicine also.
00:52This is the second university of the Rajasthan Square,
00:55which is, we can say, as a reflection, as a twist of the first one.
01:00A lot of students were in the 17th century.
01:03That's why governor of the Samarkand, Bahadur Yelang Dushbi, ordered to build the second university.
01:09The third building, which is constructed the same 17th century in 10 years,
01:15by order of the same governor who built the second one.
01:18But in a third one, he included Friday mosque and a madrasa in one complex.
01:23One of the most important monuments in Samarkand is the Bibi Hanoum Mosque.
01:29Everything was erected here in five years, from 1399 to 1494.
01:35More than 10,000 artisans, craftsmen, stonemasons labored here to build this place.
01:41Beyond the bustling squares of Samarkand lies Sahizindah, a city of the dead that lives in color and light.
01:48Walking through this necropolis is walking through centuries.
01:52Here, Cobalt and Irkua simmer like a starry sky brought worth.
01:58Every tile tells of hands that shape clay into eternity.
02:03Further west lies Kiva, the fortress city of Itsankala.
02:08Behind its mud brick walls, time falls gently.
02:12When you enter to the old city of Kiva, you will imagine the fairytale city.
02:16And because of the locations of these historical monuments in one complex as an open air museum,
02:21I think that it was included to the heritage list of UNESCO.
02:25In Bukhara, the city of scholars, wisdom pools like water around Labi House.
02:32Even today, Labi House is a living space, not just a monument.
02:36The mulberry trees around me are centuries old and the cafes here make it a favorite meeting point, both for locals and visitors.
02:47This pool reflects the surrounding madrasas in a magical way, making it one of the most atmospheric places in the city.
02:57The call to prayer circles the Poikalian, drifting over caravan roots that once carried silk, spices and stories.
03:05In order to be ensembled, there must be more than two important architectural and ancient buildings.
03:12And there are four important buildings.
03:15The first one is the great minaret.
03:17And there is the other great mosque.
03:20It was, it is called even nowadays, a public Friday mosque.
03:25And it was built in 16th century.
03:27And there is Mir Arab Madrasah.
03:29It was also built in 16th century.
03:31And the Ark of Bukhara still remains a fortress of time, guarding centuries of power, faith and life.
03:41But Uzbekistan's heritage is more than its cities.
03:44It also lives in the Sarafsan Karakum corridor, where caravans once carved pathways across deserts.
03:51In the Navoy region, ancient mosques, such as Tegaron, whisper of travelers who closed the sands.
03:59In the ancient heart of Karamana, close to Navoy, the Kosum Seikh complex stands like a quiet prayer, saved in brick and sky.
04:20In the north, there is a place in the north.
04:23There is a lot of joy in this village.
04:24In the north, there are many new cities and there are many new cities to be able to follow.
04:29And I will be able to see the birth of all these new cities in the east.
04:30With multiple sites on the UNESCO World Heritage List, Uzbekistan stands as a crossroads the world has agreed to safeguard.
04:37UNESCO may mark these places on a map, but the Silk Road itself carries the true signature, a journey still unfolding.
04:45Es ist immer wieder bereit, um den nächsten Traveller zu verabschieden, um seine Endless Horizont zu verabschieden.
