சன்மாருக்க காண்டம்.
I was in Samarkand and Bukhara a few months ago. Both are worth the trip! A photo I took of the Registan is now my screen saver.
I’m from Samarkand. Im pleased to hear such well informed video about my city. Thanks 🙏. Keep it up 👍
Visiting Samarkand was one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life. I have never been anywhere remotely like it. Great video, it's bringing back memories
Good job! Samarkhand is a gem in Central Asia! 🙏🏻
I'm central Asian Turk and I agree that our culture is mixed turko Persian culture
👍
I call them the Dustier Turks
Thanks for aggreeing😂 thank god he didn't lie in the documentary
don’t forget mongolian ancestry 😂
Central asian turks accepted thier culture are mixed with persian While anatolian turks would say they aren't mixed

I would love to visit this beautiful country one day. Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan would be my top lists for Central Asia
I love how you explained everything in a detailed way, while also keeping things clear and short enough! I truly wish for your channel to grow more because *the content you make deserves millions of views and likes* ! Love from Romania!
thank you for liking :) and watching
Wow. That's what I was searching for! This will surely help me in my tomorrow's presentation. Keep it up!! Thanks.
Nice!!
I can't believe the quality of your content!!!! thanks for another video

Keep it up! This was very insightful 👍
Thank you
If you are interested in Silk Road, visit Tash-Rabat in Kyrgyzstan, as well as Registan in Samarkand.
Nicely explained. Good animation. Thanks for creating such a good video.
Thank you for the comment
Samarkand looks great, a place with real values & a bonafide culture, unlike Pittsburgh USA.
Great content!
Thank you
May Allah bless you, my lovely brother.❤ I live in Táshkent (capital of Uzbekistan🇺🇿) I liked your video. It is very fascinating, it influenced to me. History of Táshkent is fabulous, too. It was capital of Turkish Kağanate in one period of its history, and it was vital city of Karakhanid Kağanate. Tashkent is suğdian and turkic area (in our period more turkic) "Táshkent" means "City of stone" and there are other theories, too. I adore you, my brother. ❤
Thank you for lovely comment 🙏
Great video. Thanks.
Great short overview.
Thanks for giving excellent knowledge about central asean countries
Thank you :)

Thanks for video . It my motherland
Realy I like this video so much
History is so distorted against India that I always thought/saw/read books where silk road went from China to west (Constantinople) and no road came to India and I always wondered why? Now today for the first time I can see/realize that the road instead came to India as well
There were many caravan routes except the main - Great Silk Road
Good
May Allah bless Uzbekistan!

FYI - the mongols became Muslim too - also you forgot to mention 2 things, first the great Seljuk empire also the prince of kwarazam who was the only person to have fought Gengis khan and survive. G khan also wished he was his son. Shah moh knew the khan was going to attack anyway. Also only lost as timur Malik and jalaludin his son were away as his mother was trying to take control of the empire with her pechinek Turk kazak armies….
Mongols are not Muslims.

The religion of the Sassanids were Zoroastrian with Zoroaster as the founder of the religion. please correct it.
Yes, this is only about the history of Samarkand, short history of Uzbeks is doesn’t take 20 mins to explain. Name of Uzbek appeared from 13th-14th century.
This story of Uzbeks goes dumb-headed.
You should mention that never did Uzbekistan convert away from islam since becoming Muslim in the first place
Chinese most of Muslims follow the scholars from Samargand
Why all the sound affects. I can’t listen. Too annoying
This is the great Turkish culture and the Great Turkish Empire.
The picture of the Sassanid looks like Chinese. Thre maybe some connections between the Sassanid and the Chinese that the last Sassanid king escaped to China and died in China.
Samarghand has been part of greater Iran throughout history and their culture and history is intertwined and in separable. Samaghand and Bukhara were two of Iran’s most important cities for thousands of years. 😊
Not thousand years darling

But so the first turkic empire rised from mongolia????? And than way afterwards mongolia came????? So actually monogolia had a gisyory of rising empires? And secondly, genghiz khan and the mongolians are jot tgat far off from turkey and its descendants?

I find the "Persians" claim just about every empire in central and west Asia. But in fact the Persian empire was dead when the Sassanid died. After that, the Persian culture ceased to exist and replaced by an Iranian culture that is heavily influenced by the Arabic culture.
Seleucid established the selucid empire.
This only proves that we human beings are pretty thoroughly mixed up. Wr are only ONE race, the human race, or as science calls us, Homo sapiens. But geography snd ongoing migrations once out of east Africa created many ETHNIC groups that continued to mix. That is our diversity. There is no “racial” diversity as er str ALL of one human race. But we are ethnically diverse which inky makes us less boring and more interesting. Can you imagine if we were all 100%alike? Wr we liked hsve died if boredom very quickly So stop fighting and enjoy the diversity of the one human race!!!!
Just hearing about the wars and invasions makes me feel exhausted. How do people find the energy to make war? It's hard enough to make a living without assholes invading your country and destroying your monuments.
11:41 bullskiiiiiiiitt
didnt you forgot about turkic dynasties? and afsharids are not persians, they were turcoman descendants.
No, I definitely mention them. Though probably too briefly because I was lazy.
@@GeoPerspective Don't be lazy cause you are not lazy; maybe illiterate behavior can make war between several countries. My suggestion, before posting, learn, explore, examine and be a scholar l; otherwise, you will see a negative size
Nader Shah, the founder of Afsharid dynasty called himself "Nader of Iran". Most rulling dynasties of Iran after Islam had Turkic background but lost of the kings actually used the word "Iran". So the term "Iranian dynasty" is not wrong and doesnt mean it wasn't Turkic.

This was all happening during he creation of India. 🤴🏽🕉🔺➕
Yeah right they were the ones ruling India

We are the great TURKIY nations which our religion and languages are the same indeed!
Uzbekistan is closer to Iran culturally than Turkey. Those cities were among the top during mulslim golden era. There was no Mongols like you around back then :)

I still dont why no indian empire took intrest to conquer samarkandh under mauryans and guptas they didn't showed any intrest at all except kushan empire but they came from china and accepted indian culture from then they considered as indian empire but indian born empire have no military role in central asia i wonder why
Indian subcontinent had everything, so they didn't need to go out and conquer other lands. India is larger than half of Europe, we already had so much land and people so why conquer other lands. It was already hard to maintain an empire within India, how they will think about going to other places. All the invaders that came to India, permanently settled here and never left this place because they had everything they wanted here. Religion also played a major role in this because Hindus never forced and believed in converting others to their religion, so there was no religious motivation for them unlike most of the invading empires around the world.
