"Samarkand is a living history where yesterday, today, and tomorrow exist together." This is how Dr. Akkan Suver expressed his feelings after visiting the city of Samarkand where the mausoleum of Timur and the historical ruins of Afrasiyab, the city of Zarathustras, are.

Samarkand is also a city of museums. Samarkand is a center of civilization that guides the Turkish world with Ulughbek Observatory, which defies history as well as Ali Kuşçu and Mirim Çelebi's timeless designs and principles.
