I want to tell you about Gaur Kala. I was many time in Gaur Kala. We were in excavation from 1995-2004 years. “Citadel of the Infidels” - the name of this ancient settlement is translated. Gyaur-Kala is a big walls from the early antiquity. The walls of the fortress are square in shape, they stand on equal intervals of the tower, resembling hills. Its about ten-meter walls are surrounded by the ruins of two strongholds, which are supposed to be temple and palace structures. One of the citadels was as defensive structure and a temple. This is considered the birthplace of the most ancient texts of the Avesta - Ghat, written by Zarathustra. The numerous ruins of the centers indicate that the inhabitants of Gyaur-Kali were Zoroastrians who worshiped fire. Many scholars are inclined to consider ancient Khorezm and the lower reaches of the Amu Darya a region of the origin of Zoroastrianism, which preached a constant struggle between good and evil: here, the coexistence of two cultures was extremely intense. So, in one of the parts of the Ghats (the ancient Avesta verses, the authorship of which is attributed to Zarathustra himself), the Soul of the Bull, symbolizing the aspirations of farmers, complains to the supreme deity Ahuramazda of the endless disasters caused by the raids of nomadic tribes, which the prophet directly identified with evil demons.“Citadel of the Infidels” -built in the IV century BC. e., when Khorezm was part of the empire of the Iranian Achaemenids, it survived after coming in the VIII century A.D. troops of the emir of Kuteyba, having stood for another four hundred years, after which it was destroyed by the Mongols of Khan Juchi, the son of Genghis KhanArchaeologists have determined that the cultural layer of Gyaur-kala reaches ten meters and covers the period from the IV century BC to the beginning of the XIII century. Since then, a lot of water has flowed. Local beliefs became customs that coexisted with the new Islamic religion. When I was in Gaur Kala I found many ancient coins.Every can find coins after raining. They were become a green and you can see.
