Fayaz Tepe

Fayaz Tepe is a very old place that people lived in a long, long time ago. It's actually in a country called Turkmenistan, which is very far away.

At Fayaz Tepe, there were these big mounds or hills that people made a very, very long time ago. These hills were made out of dirt and rocks. People call them "tepes."

Now, you might be wondering, why did these people make these tepees? Well, the people who lived there a long time ago wanted a safe place to live and protect themselves from any danger. So, they made these hills!

People believe that they lived in these hills because they could see far away and know if any enemies or dangerous animals were coming. It was like a lookout point!

Inside these hills, the people made little rooms made of stones. These rooms were called "chambers." It was like their little houses!

You know what's really cool? People have found lots of interesting things inside these chambers, like pottery and even jewelry! It helps us learn about how people lived a long, long time ago.

Some of the things they found were painted with different colors and patterns, and they were used to keep food or maybe even hold water. They didn't have fancy plates and cups like we do now!

There's also something called a "stela" that people found at Fayaz Tepe. It's like a big stone with writing or pictures on it. It's really mysterious because we don't know exactly what they mean, but they must have been important to the people who lived there!

So Fayaz Tepe is a special place because it tells us about how people used to live a very, very long time ago. It's like a treasure hunt, trying to learn as much as we can about these ancient people!
