According to TDH, excavations at the Paryzdepe monument in the Geoktepe etrap revealed a unique kariz - an ancient water supply system confirming the use of this method of hydraulic engineering in the Akhal Velayat since ancient times. This topic is covered in detail in the book by President Serdar Berdimuhamedov "Anau - culture from the depths of millennia".
