Umwhile situatit on the [[Amu-Darya]] River, Auld Ürgenç wis ane o the greatest ceeties on the [[Silk Road]]. Its foondation date is uncertain, but the extant ruins o the Kyrkmolla fortress hae been datit (rather ambitiously) tae the [[Achaemenid]] period. The 12t an early 13t centuries were the gowden age o Ürgenç, as it surpassed in population an fame aw ither Central Asian ceeties barrin [[Bukhara]]. In 1221, [[Genghis Khan]] [[Mongol invasion o Central Asia\|razed it tae the grund]] in ane o the [[Leet o wars an disasters bi daith toll#Individual battles an sieges\|bloodiest massacres in human history]].

Nouadays, the site contains three sma [[mausoleum]]s o the 12t century an the mair elaborate 14t-century Törebeg Hanym Mausoleum, which wis muckle restored in the 1990s. The maist strikin extant landmark o Auld Urgench is the early 11t-century Gutluk-Temir Minaret, which, at 60 meters, uised tae be the tawest brick [[minaret]] prior tae the construction o the [[Minaret o Jam]]. ~~An aa o~~O note is the Il-Arslan Mausoleum an aw - the auldest staundin monument: a conical dome o 12 facets, hoosin the tomb o [[Muhammad II o Khwarezm\|Mohammed II]]'s grandfaither, [[Il-Arslan]], who dee'd in 1172.
