Best Answer

Uzbekistan took its name from Khan Uzbek, the ruler responsible for the conversion of the 'Golden Horde' to Islam at the beginning of the 14th century. Its cities Tashkent Bukhara, and Samarkand remained the centers of learning for some centuries at time when the entire West was engulfed in darkness. Bukhara is the hometown of Ibn Sina (b. 980 CE) - known to the West as Avicenna - A philosopher and a great physician of his time - indeed the greatest name in world medicine. He wrote 'The Canon of Medicine', a systematic encyclopedia based on the achievements of Greek and Arab physicians. Present-day Bukhara is city of more than 500,000 people - full of impressive architectural delights - among them the mausoleum of Samanid and the Kalyan minaret, which is listed as 'historical monument' by the UN.
