It has distanced itself from Russia and made overtures to the USA but its one man government, Islam Karimov, is not moving towards democracy and aspires to re-establish Tamerlane's dominant regional power. Its economy, which has regressed like that of all ex soviet countries since 1991, has not been privatized much but it is showing signs of improvement thanks to foreign investment in new industries. Uzbekistan does not encourage tourism, visas are hard to get, expensive and subject to tight police control. Atlapedia CIA Country Reports uz Lonely Planet uz Traveldocs
Fergana valley
I had been in Tashkent before in 1971 so I skipped it this time. I went directly by bus from Osh to Samarkand crossing the fertile Fergana valley and an part of Tajikistan without stopping. This great valley between the Tian Shan range to the north and the Alay mountains to the south enjoys the best agricultural land and climate of all Central Asia. A good place for apricot orchards such as this one.
Fergana valley
Greek, Persian and Chinese envoys came here as early as two centuries BC to trade with the prosperous kingdoms they found here. The Arabs came in the 8th century and converted the Buddhist turkic population to Islam. The Russians took the valley in the late 19th century along with the rest of Central Asia and introduced the intensive cultivation of cotton seen here. The communists went one step further and used the waters of the Amu Darya and Syr Darya rivers to irrigate vast tracts of desert to grow cotton. They drew so much from these rivers that the volume of the Aral sea fell by 75% and its area by 50%. An ecological catastrophe!

junbish.org Ulugh Beg Afghanistan's Astronomer Prince Afghanistan might have been a very different place today if the astronomer-prince Ulug Beg (Ulugbek) had not been assassinated by Muslim extremists on October 27, 1449. Earlier in the 15th century, Ulug Beg's parents, Shah-Rukh and Gawhar-Shad, had emerged victorious from the battle for Timur's empire. They established their capital city Herat (in present-day Afghanistan) as a center of culture and learning. They founded madrassahs colleges open to both men and women students. Their son Ulug Beg was based as Emir, or Prince, in Samarkand. He founded two madrassahs in Samarkand and Bukhara. Inscribed on the Ulug Beg Madrassah built in Bukhara in 1417, can still be read the words: "It is the duty of every Muslim man and woman to acquire knowledge." The Madrassah in the Registan in Samarkand is tiled in a sparkling pattern of stars for Ulug Beg is most famous for his observatory built in 1428, and opened the following year by his proud mother Gawhar-Shad. It was unsurpassed in the world. The great round building was bisected north to south by a gigantic marble quadrant which was cut down deep into the ground for stability. Its sights were moved into position on brass rails. This enabled the most accurate star tables ever to be complied.

The grandson of the conqueror Timur the Lame ( ) and the oldest son of Shah Rukh, both of whom came from the Turkic Barlas tribe of Transoxiana (present Uzbekistan ), Ulugh Beg was born in Sultaniyya in modern-day Iran . As a child he wandered through a substantial chunk of the Middle East and India as his grandfather expanded his conquests in those areas.

Banachiewicz ist vor allem durch seine astronomische Aktivitäten bekannt. So war er jahrzehntelang Leiter der Sternwarte in Krakau. An der Universität Krakow wirkte er als Astronom und Mathematiker. 1925 entwickelte er das "krakauker Kalkül". Dies ist ein spezielle Matrixalgebra, die auf Kugeloberflächen angewendet werden kann. In der Astronomie findet das bei u.a. Bahnberechnungen Anwendung. Die Banachiewicz-Olbers Berechnung dient der Berechnung parabolischer Bahnen.

Benjamin Banneker war ein Ausnahmemathematiker und Astronom. In einer Zeit als in den USA die Sklaverei herrschte, war es schon eine große Besonderheit, dass ein Afrikaner sich so entwickeln konnte. Seine mathematischen und astromischen Fähigkeiten brachte er sich selbst bei. Er konstruierte genau gehende Uhren, verfasste astronmische Tafeln und setzte sich für das Ende der Sklaverei ein. Er übermittelte Jefferson seine Werke mit den Worten: "Eine Kreation eines freien Mannes der afrikanischen Rasse". Der Hinweis auf der Marke zur Vermessung des Geländes macht auf seinen Beitrag zur Gestaltung der amerikanischen Hauptstadt aufmerksam.

Ulugh Beg was the grandson of the Asian (Mongol) conquerer Timur. His father captured the city of Samarkand and gave it to Ulugh Beg. He was primarily an astronomer and he built an observatory, the construction beginning in 1428. In his observations he discovered a number of errors in the computations of Ptolemy. He compiled tables of sins and tans at 1 intervals. These displayed a high degree of accuracy, being correct to at least 8 decimal places. Ulugh Beg's politics were not up to his science and, on his father's death, he was unable to achieve power despite being an only son. He was eventually being put to death at the instigation of his own son.

In the very centre of Uzbekistan is Samarkand, with a history of 2700 years. It was the capital of the Soghdian people, but their loyalty to the Achaemenian rulers of Iran, as recorded at Persepolis, led to its destruction by Alexander the Great in 329 BC. Soghdian culture survived until the Arab conquests in the 8th century AD as shown in murals and artefacts uncovered in archaeological excavations. The campaigns of Genghis Khan in the 1220s caused devastation, but the city revived becoming the world-famous capital of
