Description
The Ayaz-Kala settlement is the ruins of an ancient fortress from the time of the Kushan Kingdom, located in the sands of Kyzylkum on the territory of Uzbekistan. The name of the settlement translates as "fortress in the wind". It was built in the III-II centuries BC during the heyday of the Kushan culture and served as a military fortification, protecting the borders of the kingdom.
Toprak Kala is the ruin of a large fortified palace dating from the 1st or 2nd centuries CE through the 6th century. It was rediscovered by the archeologist Sergei P. Tolstov in 1938 and investigated over a period of 28 years by Soviet scholars. Although many mysteries remain—for instance, when it was first built, and by whom—enough evidence survives to place it in a historical context.
The Kyzyl-Kala fortress is located in the territory of Ancient Khorezm (modern Karakalpakstan) in the vicinity of ancient town Toprak-Kala. According to some data, Kyzyl-Kala was a part of the Toprak-Kala fortified system and served as additional defenses.
