Turkmenistan is often called the lost treasure, and not without reason. Each year, the country is visited by no more than 6000 tourists, so it is one of the most mysterious and exotic destinations. The remoteness from the world and endless steppes, golden statue of the president and honey melons, unshakable cult of personality and fragrant tea - Turkmenistan never ceases to amaze!
People have lived on the territory of Turkmenistan since Neolithic times, but the official historical record of the country begins in the seventh century. Before our era, the country belonged to Persia, was part of the kingdom of Parthia, fell under the dominion of the Arab Caliphate.
In the Middle Ages Turkmenistan was culturally enriched, mosques and mausoleums appeared, ceramics and jewelry craftsmanship developed, writers and poets made great contributions. The following centuries turned out to be difficult for Turkmens: first, the nation fell into the hands of Mongol-Tatars, and then internecine strife with neighboring states began. Full freedom for Turkmens started only in 1991 after the USSR collapse and establishment of the independent state.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Turkmenistan followed its own path, which made it so authentic. If one day you happen to visit this mysterious Asian state, be sure to check it out:
