The historical landscape of Khorezym defies the borders drawn in the Modern age. Located south of the Aral Sea, it extends over the present-day countries of Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan. In the midst of this hot, arid region of Central Asia lies the oasis city of Khiva, which was once the capital of Khiva Khanate and has now been declared a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site. Having plenty of water and other supplies the city became a hub for the caravans, and consequently also amassed knowledge from ancient times onwards. Numerous manuscripts, which are stored and researched at the Abu Rayhan al-Biruni Institute in Tashkent, attest to this. The researchers find clues in them which lead them to Khiva, the oasis of knowledge.
