Topicality of the course work According to Nishapuri, the people of 
Turkestan were attracted by the abundance of plants and animals. There was no the

came to the place where Bukhara is now situated initially lived in tents and yurts 
and, later, in houses they built for themselves. 
Abulhasan nishapuri links the construction of the Bukhara Ark with a 
legendary Iranian prince, Siyavush. Siyavush ibn Kaykawus had fled from his 
father, crossed the Djeykhun River and was welcomed by Prince Afrasiab who 
then married him to his daughter. Afrasiab also granted him an apanage within the 
Bukhara district. Siyavush liked this place so much that he decided to build the 
Bukhara fortress where he spent most of his time. But, because of some 
provocation, Afrasiab killed Siyavush and buried him at the entrance of the eastern 
gate of Ark, "Darvaza Quriyan" (which means "The Maysellers' Gate"). 
Narshakhi recounts that after Siyavush had been killed, his son Kaykhusraw, 
longing to revenge his father's murder, summoned a large army and set off for 
Bukhara. Afrasiab found refuge in the Ramitan fortress, which Kaykhusraw 
besieged for two years. Kaykhusraw attacked Afrasiab from the Ramus settlement 
he built opposite Ramitan. Finally, Kaykhusraw managed to conquer the fortress 
and kill Afrasiab. This legendary ruler of Turan was buried on the Khadji Imom 
Abu Khafs Kabir hill near the Mabad Gate of Bukhara, narshakhi asserts that 
"these events occurred over three millennia ago". 
The Structure of the course work the given qualification paper consists of 
an Introduction, Main body, a Conclusion and a Bibliography.
