[edit]DescriptionAncient Town Khulbuk, Tajikistan (29979691298).jpg |
Fortress Hulbuk The town of Hulbuk is one of the IX-XII centuries sites situated on a southern route of Great Silk Route. Hulbuk was the capital of Hatlan in IX-X centuries where different kinds of craftsmen such as potters, glass-blowers, masons, jewelers and blacksmiths lived and worked. In archeological excavations in these royal palaces a large quantity of artifacts was found which explained the flourishing artistic craftsmanship of the Hatlan land. Inside the palace a wide network of plumbing system and heating pipes were installed. Hundreds of pieces of carved plaster were found during excavations show a variety of techniques that architects of this culture used in their work. These carvings were categorized into three groups: plant images, animals and inscriptions. (Museum) Destroyed by the Mongols, the sparse remnants of this fortified palace have been undergoing excavation since 1951 and now a fine reconstruction of the palace walls, complete with minaret and battlements, has been completed. Between the 9th and 11th centuries, Hulbuk Palace was at the centre of one of the four biggest cities of Central Asia and the seat of the Shah of Khatlon. The palace guarded a giant salt hill which was of great value at the time as the source of one of three precious resources (together with gold and horses) traded along the silk routes.
