Türkmens have transmitted these two inventions up to the present through the course of history. Undoubtedly, the wagon has lent speed to history and to life. The design of our alphabet has changed throughout history; and today we see it in the form of the embroidery on Türkmen carpets.

The carpet is an art to us.
