Sarazm, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Tajikistan, is an ancient proto-urban settlement dating back to the 4th millennium BCE. Discovered in 1976, it reveals a sophisticated Bronze Age society engaged in agriculture, metallurgy, and extensive trade with regions like Mesopotamia and the Indus Valley. Key findings, including the "Lady of Sarazm" burial, highlight its cultural significance. Protected by metal roofs and a small museum, Sarazm offers insights into Central Asia’s early human development.
