    Today, in the village of Königig near Samarkand, the Meros paper mill operates, the founders of which are the famous masters of the Mukhtarov brothers. Thanks to their efforts, the old tradition of paper making using old Samarkand technologies has been revived in the local factory. Interestingly, the entire production is done manually and every guest of the factory can personally observe the production of the paper

    Here, in the center of the mills, paper, oil and flour were produced using water power.
    In the first mill, paper was made from the bark of mulberry trees. The bark was beaten into a pulp using a hammer.
    In the next mill, oil was pressed.
