One of the oldest regions in the world and the oldest in Central Asia is Merv. It's as old as Mesopotamia, India, China, and Egypt! As if being the oldest region wasn't enough, Merv occupies one of the largest areas of archaeological excavation in Central Asia! There are ruins of not one but five different hill forts! The ancient city is known for the brightest minds in the Islamic world like al-Khwarizmia and Omar Khayyam who lived and worked there.
