The materials collected by the expedition under the leadership of famous archaeologist Victor Sarianidi prove with all confidence that architects and constructors of the legendary Margiana in the Bronze Age were true masters possessing mathematical methods of calculation of building constructions, and felt the proportions and forms relying on the basis of geometry. And by the way, as the author said the word “kirpich” (the brick) has deep native roots and came to the Russian language through Turks languages...
