Surkhandarya
Surkhandarya, a region in Central Asia, has been attracting many archaeologists and tourists from all over the world for more than half a century.
And this is not for nothing. The ancient city of Termez, which recently celebrated its 2700th anniversary, is surrounded by ancient historical monuments, including the ancient Buddhist complexes of Fayaztepa, Kampyrtepa, Dalverzintepa, Karatepa and Ayrtam.
In 1968, a statue of Buddha was discovered on the territory of ancient Termez and since then this land has become the main object for the study of many scientists and archaeologists. Later, the most ancient Buddhist temple complexes were discovered: Fayaztepa (1st century BC -3rd century AD), Kampyrtepa, Karatepa. And the discovery of elements of the famous Ayrtam frieze with the image of ancient musicians was evidence that Buddhism was once preached in this region and elements of Hellenistic culture were revealed.
