The Tajiks are one of the most ancient peoples of the world. Life in an area situated at the main crossroads of eastern civilization has given them continuous access to the achievements of other cultures. The first settlement on the territory of today’s Tajikistan date back to the end of upper Paleolithic period (15-20 thousand years ago). Archaeological finds, the works of Herodotus and other written evidences provide information on trading relations, customs, and rituals of the nation. For many centuries the country, involved mainly in trading with neighbors suffered from foreign invasions by the troops of Alexander the Great, steppe nomads, Arabs and Tartar-Mongols.
The first Tajik state emerged in 892, providing independence from the Arab Khalif. The development which began in the Samanid’s epoch, was characterized by the restoration and fortification of war-ravaged cities and greater attention to culture, art and architecture. Samanid state brought to the world the most famous scientists and philosophers - Abu Ali ibn-Sina ( known in the west as Avicenna). Tajiks also venerate Firdausi, a poet and composer of the «Shah-nameh» (Book of Kings), the Pershian national epic, and Omar Khayyam. Tajikistan is remarkable for its variety and contrasting nature conditions. It is determined by it’s being far from oceans in the zone of Euroasia and mountainous relief. In summer the temperature is 30-40 degrees above zero in the plains and in winter time it is 8-10 degrees below zero but in mountain area is cold. Nearly the half of territory of Tajikistan is occupied by the highest mountains of Central Asia - the Pamirs where there are the biggest mountain chains of Asia - Karakorum, Kuenlun and Hidukosh. The Pamirs is called the “Roof of the World” because some of its peaks rise to a height of more than seven thousand meters above sea level. The snow-caped Peak Ismoil Somoni ( former peak “Communism”) reaches height of 7495 meters. The climate of Tajikistan is very different. Its subtropical in low valleys, it is temperate in middle circles of moutains and cold in high moutains. Rugged and mountainous, Tajikistan sits at the heart of Central Asia with China to the east and the Indian sub-continent to the south. Three major Silk Road routes ran through its present day territory. These three routes were the Sogdian, or North Road, which connected Samarkand and Kashgar (China); the Karategin Road between Termez (Uzbekistan) and Kashgar; and the Pamir Road linking Balkh (Afganistan) and Tashkurgan (China).
