In the course of recent excavations in Uzbekistan, supported by the Curt-Engelhorn-Foundation and the German Archaeological Institute, a ceramic bath tub was discovered in Fort Qo'rg'onzol. Its existence at this location in Central Asia is explicable only by the presence of the bearers of Greek culture. Many comparable finds of bath tubs are known in the distant Mediterranean area. Together with the model of Fort Qo'rg'onzol, an exact copy of the bath tub made particularly for the exhibition presents an impressive setting indeed.
Written evidence confirms that Alexander founded several cities in the Central Asian lands of Bactria and Sogdia. Their conquest led to a kind of guerrilla war over the years. Fort Qo'rg'onzol lies directly on the main route of Alexanders campaign. Presumably it was built as a defence bastion during the battles along the way.
