EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time at the bustling market near the ancient ruins of Merv, Turkmenistan. Dating back to circa 1909, this image offers a glimpse into the daily life of the Turkomen people, who once inhabited the oasis-city that was once a major cultural and economic hub along the historic Silk Road. The distinctive Turkomen men, dressed in their traditional hats and robes, can be seen taking a break from their travels, resting beside their cart. The market, teeming with activity, is a vibrant display of local produce, textiles, and handicrafts. The distinctive shapes and styles of the hats worn by the men are a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the region, which was once part of the Achaemenid Satrapy of Margiana, and later Alexandria and Antiochia in Margiana. Merv, located near modern-day Mary in Turkmenistan, was a major oasis-city in Central Asia, and its strategic location made it a crossroads of trade and cultural exchange between the East and West. This photograph offers a window into the past, transporting us back to a time when the ancient city was a thriving center of commerce and culture, and the Turkomen people were an integral part of the rich tapestry of Central Asian history.
