It is followed by the history of the Turkmen of modern Turkmenistan and Iran, and their life during the existence of the khanate in these regions.

4Vol. 3 (pp. 1889-2641): The last volume is a description of cultural history and the originality of Turkmens, with data on the art, literature, folklore, religion and sacred places, holidays, and information about anthropology of the Turkmen. There are various texts in the Turkmen language and many photo illustrations. At the end of the volume, there are notes and index for all the three volumes on 200 pages. The value of the three volumes lies in the fact that they bring together in one publication a large material about Turkmens. The book is written in Persian, and sources in many languages have been used. In the book some names are given in Persian and Latin script. Some texts are published in Turkmen, in order for the author to show how they sound in that language. Therefore, the texts in Turkmen are presented in Arabic script, not in transcription. If they were published in Latin writing, and also in transcription, the reader would be enable to discover precise pronunciation of the Turkmen language.
