The Islamic Civilization Center in Tashkent has unveiled the "Uluqtog" inscription, a rare monument from the era of Amir Timur, in its "Second Renaissance" section. The stone, weighing over 11 tons, was discovered in 1935 by geologist Kanysh Satpayev in the Uluqtog area of Kazakhstan, known as the "Golden Summit." It was later transferred to the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg.

The inscription was carved on a large stone block by Timur's order during the 1391 campaign against Khan Tokhtamysh. It reflects ideas of statehood, military power, and religious worldview. The first lines are in Arabic, followed by text in Old Uzbek (Chagatai) using Uyghur script.

The Hermitage collections also include a seal with Mironshah's name, a jade ring belonging to Gawharshad Begim, and other unique items from this period. The center's exhibition also features authentic Eastern miniatures from the 15th–16th centuries, created in Bukhara and Shiraz.
