At various periods in the history of our state, great civilizations, large empires, remarkable cities, and invaluable architectural monuments emerged. Especially prominent in human history are the unique examples of cultural heritage created by our great ancestors. The scientific, historical, and artistic works that have reached us today are preserved in different parts of the world, in foreign collections, foundations, libraries, and museums. Extensive work is being conducted to study this rich and invaluable cultural heritage by various ministries and departments, including the Center for Islamic Civilization in Uzbekistan under the Cabinet of Ministers.
