Mirzo Ulugbek (1394-1449) was a famous astronomer, mathematician, and ruler of Samarkand. He established one of the most advanced observatories in the medieval world, the Ulugbek Observatory, and created a star catalog more accurate than many in Europe at the time. He represents both scientific progress and cultural heritage in Uzbekistan and is widely respected as one of the greatest scientist in Islamic history. His contribution to astronomy deserves to be honored with a stamp. the stamp could feature: The Ulugbek Observatory A starry night sky with constellations A portrait of Ulugbek wearing traditional robes. I think, this would not only highlight Uzbek heritage, but also show appreciation for science and education.

So it can be a stamp for several countries: Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkey and Turkmenistan. Nasreddin appears in thousands of stories, sometimes witty, sometimes wise, but often, too, a fool or the butt of a joke. A Nasreddin story usually has a subtle humour and a pedagogic nature. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nasreddin

Timur is one of the most significant figures in history, representing the rich cultural heritage of Uzbekistan. As Uzbekistan is a Turkish-rooted country and a brotherly nation, I would like to request a stamp featuring Timur to reflect this historical importance. Additionally, I would appreciate it if the design could incorporate the color turquoise, as it symbolizes the vibrant culture and breathtaking landscapes of Uzbekistan. In addition to Timur, Uzbekistan is also known for its delicious traditional foods and stunning landmarks. Like Tashkent, Samarkand, Bukhara, Khiva, Namangan, Andijan, Nukus, Fergana, Termez, Zarafshan... It would be wonderful if more stamps could be added to highlight these aspects as well🙃 Thank you for considering my request! ^-^
