Abstract:
The Caspian Sea and its coast had a huge importance for many centuries, and occupied a key place in
the Great Silk Road, which was one of the most important trade routes connecting East and West.
The purpose of this work is to study the history of the north-eastern part of the Caspian Sea. Archaeological
excavations in the settlements of Karakabak, Kyzylkal, Zhaiyk and other places in the Caspian territory show
an important role in revealing the historical pages of this region. They provide valuable information about
past cultures, lifestyles and the nature of the development of the population in this area.
Analysis and use as main sources of cartographic materials, works of medieval historians, Arabic and
European travelers, as well as Russian researchers of the New Time, allow you to understand the historical
geography of the area. The authors strive to systematize sources and cartographic data, to provide historical
trends that have existed on these territories in different historical periods. Particular attention is paid to the
northeastern coast of the Caspian Sea, including the Jem River, as the natural northern boundary of the AralCaspian marine interval.
The study of the history of the Caspian Sea and its coast helps to understand the versatility and
significance of this region in world history and culture. It allows you to form a complete picture of past events
and interactions that have shaped this unique historical context.
