Khorezm, historical region and ancient state in Central Asia, in the lower reaches of the Amu Darya.

The first mentions of Khorezm (which in translation means “Land of the Sun”) are found in the Behistun inscription of Darius I and the holy book of Zoroastrianism - “Avesta”. In the middle of the 6th century. BC e., Khorezm became part of the Persian Achaemenid state. By the time of Alexander the Great, Khorezm was an independent state. In the 4th-3rd centuries. BC. Khorezm was experiencing an economic and cultural boom: irrigation systems were being improved, cities were being built, crafts and art were developing. The dominant form of religion was Zoroastrianism. The territory of ancient Khorezm is often called “Central Asian Egypt”. And, I must say, this is a very appropriate comparison. There are not many places in the world where such a number of ancient architectural monuments would be concentrated in a relatively small area. There are more than a dozen fortresses here alone. And just like the Egyptian pyramids, they stun a person who finds himself in close proximity to them for the first time.

An outside observer or traveler immediately has many questions: how could the ancient builders, in the absence of any construction equipment, build all these grandiose structures? Thanks to what, many buildings have survived to this day? But most of them are two thousand years old. Some ancient fortresses look as if they were abandoned by their inhabitants quite recently. And what is surprising is that, despite their majesty and good preservation, the very existence of these fortresses today is known only to a narrow circle of specialists. Perhaps this is also why they are so well preserved because they are located off the beaten path and it is very, very difficult to get to them without the help of local historians. The choice of location for the construction of fortresses remains one of the historical and geographical mysteries of ancient Central Asia to this day. What theories have been put forward on this matter! It is generally accepted that people have always sought to live closer to water. But in those places where the fortresses are located, water was difficult to access. At the same time, there is not a single large defensive structure near the Amu Darya. Perhaps this is explained by the fact that the ancient inhabitants of Khorezm sought to build fortresses on natural hills, and they are almost never found along the banks of the Amu Darya.

Date of the founding of the city of Old Termez is not clear, but some of historians give more than 3000 years, officially there was a celebration of 2500years few years back. In the 6th century BC Achaemenids already called the city as the ancient city. In 329 BC Alexander the Great conquered Termez. After the collapse of his Empire, one of his colonels founded a Greco-Bactrian kingdom named Demetrius city. As part of the Kushan Empire in the 1st to 3rd century BC the city was called Ta-li-mi, in the Chinese Tu-mi or Tami. During this period, the city became an important center of Buddhism. Same time it was one of the main trade points of The Great Silk Road. In the 5th and 6th centuries the city was ruled by Hephthalites – white Huns. In the 7th century the city was independently ruled by local aristocracy. In 705 the city was captured by the Arabs and it became one of centers of Islam during the Abbasids and Samanids Empire. From the 9ththrough the 12th centuries Termez was a big city and a cultural center of the region. It was popular for shopping and crafts. At this time the length of the fortifications of the city was 10 miles, there were nine gates. During this period Termez was a part of the Ghaznavids, Seljuks and Karakhanids. In 1206 the town became part of the state Khorezmshahs. And in 1220 after a two-day siege, the city was destroyed by the Horde of Genghis Khan. In the second half of the 13th century Termez was restored to the east, on the right bank of Surkhandarya River, it was part of the Timurid Empire, after the collapse Shaybanids. By the second half of the 18th century the city was abandoned. Only few villages around were populated and existing separately.
In January 1893 the emirate of Bukhara gave the land of the village Pattakesar to Russian government to build a Russian fortress and garrison and, a military border fortification, where the Amu Darya river port was built. In 1928 already being part of the Soviet Union, Pattakesar was renamed and took the city's ancient name Termez. In 1929, the village became a town. During the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan (1979–89), Termez was an important military base, a military airfield and a road-rail bridge across the Amu Darya ("Bridge of Friendship") were built. Even today Termez is an advanced post bordering with Afghanistan.
