In addition to increasing the economic, social and political power of Uzbekistan, 
we can understand the national identity and see our country among the highly 
developed countries of the world only by thoroughly studying the history and 
heritage of our ancestors. 
For this purpose, since the first years of independence in our republic, great 
attention has been paid to the deeper study of our history. 
In particular, the importance of archeology in studying the culture of urban 
planning in Khorezm is incomparable. 
Studying the history of the ancient and medieval cities of South Khorezm and its 
material culture, as well as the topographical structure, is one of the problems 
that have not been fully investigated scientifically. Within this problem, the main 
attention can be paid to the types of cities of average size in terms of size. 
"Qal’ajiq qal’a", located on the left bank of the Amudarya in the territory of the 
ancient Khorezm state, belongs to this type of cities. The study of this city is of 
historical importance in many ways, firstly, it can help to study the history of 
urban planning culture in Khorezm, secondly, to solve the problems of the 
ancient statehood of Khorezm, and thirdly, it can help to develop tourism, which 
is one of the most relevant policies of our country today. And finally, the 
presence of healing lake waters and sand allows to turn the monument "Qal’ajiq 
qal’a" into one of the centers of archeo-ecotourism. 
If we talk about the written sources about the monument "Qal’ajiq qal’a", this 
monument is located in Bogot District, 25 km from Hazorasp city and 21 km 
west of the district center. The fortress has an irregular rectangular shape, the 
length of the northern wall is 184 m, the southern wall is 211 m, the western 
wall is 72 m, and the eastern wall is 114 m. The total area is 6 hectares. Dated to 
the IV century BC. 
The first information about "Qal’ajiq qal’a" is mostly found in Arab-Persian 
sources of the IX-XII centuries. Because in these centuries a high level of 
economic and cultural development is observed in all Eastern regions. At the 
same time, this information about our topic is important because the authors of 
these sources have only mentioned the events that they saw and witnessed. 
"Qal’ajiq qal’a" is mentioned in medieval sources under different names. In the 
work "Hudud al-Olam" by an unknown author and written in Persian, it is 
mentioned in the works of authors such as Kardnaskhaz, al-Istakhri and al-
Maqdisi as Kardarankhosh and Kardarankhos, and in the works of Khorezm 
historians such as Abulhazi, Munis and Ogahi with the names Kardan khast or 
Gardan khast. done. But these sources have different opinions about
