AFGANİSTAN’IN TARİHİ COĞRAFYASI (VII-XVI. YÜZYIL)
Located in the heart of Asia and a battleground of empires throughout history, Afghanistan is a unique junction where civilizations
touch each other.
This book reconstructs a broad historical background, from the early Turkic communities emerging from the pre-Islamic steppe culture,
to the Turkic-Islamic dynasties; from the Mongol invasions to the Timurid conquests and the Mughal periods,
in the light of geographical data and written sources.
Valleys, passes, cities, rivers are not merely natural elements in this study; they appear as the very carriers of the historical flow.
This comprehensive research brings together historical geography, toponymy, linguistics, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and modern field data.
It presents Afghanistan's transformation between the 7th and 16th centuries in a clear, meticulous, and compelling narrative.
