Résumé
Turkmenistan, the crossroad of the busiest medieval path - the great Silk Road - and the meeting point of western and eastern civilizations, is well known by archaeologists and historians as a great land of history and ancient civilizations. Kunya-Urgench is the largest archaeological site in the north of Turkmenistan, on the left bank of the old Amu-Darya riverbed, representing a vast zone of protected landscape with well preserved monuments of great architectural value, numerous ruins and rich unexplored archaeological sub-layers. There is no doubt about the architectural, archaeological and historical significance of this site.
