"Atlas" gives a visual representation and helps to navigate in the complex history of this important part of Asia, which is closely connected with the history of Iran, Afghanistan, China and Russia, which at different times included parts of this region. Covering the period from the IV. BC, the maps depict various political actors, their approximate boundaries, the main ethnic groups and their movements, military campaigns and battles, etc., until the emergence of five new independent states in Central Asia in 1991: Uzbekistan , Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. The special maps show the distribution of Turkmen, Uzbek, Kazakh and Kyrgyz tribes in the XIX - XX centuries, as well as the location of important archaeological excavations and architectural monuments. Each map is accompanied by a text that gives a brief overview of the main events of the political and ethnic history of the relevant period.
