Tamdyr: National bakery traditions

Every Turkmen home, which has a small yard, has round clay oven, the tamdyr. Tamdyr has existed in life of peoples of Caucasus, East and Central Asia throughout the history. It is hard to say how old this ancient invention is, but much probably, the tamdyr appeared at the dawn of time when having decided to make a difference in their predominantly meat menu, people have learned how to cultivate the wheat and make flour out of it. The tamdyr has come after the skewer. During excavations of ancient country of Margiana on the territory of modern Turkmenistan, archaeologists have discovered the remains of clay ovens, which ancient ancestors of Turkmens used to bake a bread. Many things have changed for the past millenniums, the world itself has changed but this simple construction, which were preserved in its original shape, have remained the same.
