And so, of course, on the tour to see the page inscriptions you will visit the gorges. The inscriptions on the walls of these gorges will tell you about the ancient nomads. Nomads are people who lived moving from one pasture to another. Moreover, when moving, these people took everything with them: livestock, household utensils, and even yurts. The history of our small country is 2000 years old, and in written records, the history begins in 201 BC.
In order to plunge into the atmosphere of the history of the Kyrgyz people, it is best to use a car for rent and go on a travel around Kyrgyzstan. In the country, you will have the opportunity to visit the Rock Art Gallery, which is located in the Issyk Kul region, in Cholpon Ata, where travelers will learn about the peculiarities of life in the Bronze Age. Here you can see petroglyphs, that is, various images of goats, bulls, horses, scenes of communication, dances or rituals.
On a tour with a car rental, you will find out that the history of the Kyrgyz people, according to ancient Chinese writings, begins from 201 BC. Our ancient history stretches from 1000 BC before 300 AD. There is also other information about the Kyrgyz, which is given in the chronicle "Historical Notes", which tells about five people who tried to conquer the Hunnu. The historian Ban Gu also mentions the Kyrgyz in the Han Shu chronicle. However, today many modern scientists argue that the territory of the state of the ancient Kyrgyz was in East Turkestan.
The critical moments of the Kyrgyz people were observed from 1200 to 1400 due to the invasions of the Mongols. Such an invasion led to the end of the developed Turkic culture.
Traveling around Kyrgyzstan with a car for rent, you will learn more about the Yenisei Kyrgyz. For example, that they were dependent on Genghis Khan in 1207. The 12-15th centuries are also important dates in the history of Kyrgyzstan, since at that time the nomads began to accept the religion of Islam. The acceptance of this religion is explained by the fact that there were close trade relations with the Arabs, Persians and Turks.
The events of the 15th century are associated with the resettlement of people from South Siberia. Well, and accordingly, from the 15th to the 19th century, local residents did not have a state. The tribal leaders wanted to reunite into a single state, but tribes appeared with a political structure and views on the beginning of independence.
From the 18th century to the beginning of the 20th century, there are also important dates in the history of Kyrgyzstan, because at these moments there were attempts to join the Russian Empire. Only the northern part of the Kyrgyz tried and wanted to join. As for the south, they were joined by force. After the accession, the nomadic way of life quickly changed to agricultural and civil.
Further changes in history take place at the beginning of the 20th century. The changes took place in 1917 with the coming of the Bolsheviks to power and the end of the Russian Empire. The Bolsheviks proposed a new system of power with excellent exploitation of people and announced the injury of all people. The Soviet Union is developing the country's political and cultural life and education. Kyrgyzstan during this period became an autonomous region. One tragic fact in the Soviet era should be noted that any religion and belief in God was prohibited. As a result, the murder of innocent people has increased.
Another interesting date is 1991 when Kyrgyzstan became an independent country. The collapse of the Soviet Union takes place. After these changes, there is a decline in living standards, unemployment and a crisis in political, economic and social life. However, from positive things, Kyrgyzstan gets a flag, an anthem. Our country became a member of the UN in 1992, and in 1993 adopted its own Constitution. Then there are two revolutions in 2005 and 2010, when the people were dissatisfied with the presidents.
