Sulaiman-Too Sacred Mountain
['Unesco World Heritage Centre']
UNESCO World Heritage Centre
For at least a millennium and a half Sulaiman-Too has been revered as a sacred mountain.
Criterion (iii): The rich concentration of material evidence for cult practices preserved on Sulaiman-Too mountain from pre- and post-Islamic times, together with its ‘ideal’ form present the most complete picture of a sacred mountain anywhere in Central Asia.
Criterion (vi): Sulaiman-Too presents exceptionally vivid evidence for strong traditions of mountain worship which have spanned several millennia and been absorbed successfully by Islam.
Integrity and AuthenticityThe authenticity of the mountain, its cult places, uses and functions are without doubt, even given the numerous interventions over the past 50 years.
The integrity of the mountain relies on protection of the cult places and their connecting paths as well as their visual linkages and views to and from the mountain.
