From the History of the Discovery and Study of Ancient Turkic Runic Monuments in Kyrgyzstan

The Kyrgyz are one of the ancient peoples of Central Asia. Together with other Turkic peoples and tribes, they used ancient Turkic runic writing during the early medieval period, which was replaced by Old Uyghur script in the 10th-11th centuries. The runic monuments are unique texts that have preserved many common features of the dialects of the tribes living in the areas where this script was used. As early as the late 17th century, Russian cartographer, geographer, and historian of Siberia,

Osh — the oldest city in Kyrgyzstan. Findings of lifted ceramics and stone artifacts from the Bronze Age in the territory of the city, followed by excavation work on the terraces of Suleiman Mountain, have shown their affiliation with the Chust archaeological culture, dated to 3000 years ago. The archaeologically documented age of the oldest settlement in Osh is evidence of the first stable economic development by primitive humans of the territory of the modern city.

Among these was the protest on July 21-22, 1914, at the Andijan assembly point of peasants and townspeople called up to the army, who left behind unprotected

What material are Kyrgyz carpets made from?

The main stages of carpet making are the preparation of yarn, then the carpet's foundation, and the weaving process. All these types of work in manual production, on which carpet weaving has been based for centuries, are very labor-intensive. Kyrgyz people predominantly wove carpets from wool. However, there was also carpet production based on cotton with the same weft. Cotton yarn, as the artisans say, has been used since ancient times and was bought at the market. Among the Kyrgyz group

The Art of Kyrgyz Carpet Weavers

During the years of imperialist and civil war, and during the basmachi uprising in southern Kyrgyzstan, carpets were not produced. Only after enduring hardships did the artisans take up their production again, but carpet weaving took on different forms. The production of small pile items ceased, as they lost their value in the new living conditions. The main pile item became the carpet. Starting from the 1930s, the Soviet government undertook a series of measures to develop Kyrgyz carpet

The uprisings of the townspeople of Osh and the rural residents of the district in the 1880s and 1890s were part of the popular unrest in the Fergana region. They were caused everywhere by the same socio-economic reasons, directed against the intensification of colonial oppression and the oppression of the local exploitative elite. The religious coloring or involvement of some feudal elements in leading them did not change their overall anti-colonial and anti-feudal orientation. Following the
