Samarkand is an ancient city, region and district. Historians believe that this city is equally similar to cities like Vavilon, Fiva, Athens, Rome and so on. There are different views on the etymology of my part. Nearly all of the researchers consider the second part of the toponym to be Turkic - urban - rural, urban - type.
Mongols under the leadership of Genghis Khan destroyed Samarkand so much that it was impossible to restore it.
Amir Temur selected Samarkand as the capital city of his country in 1370, favored the construction of a new city rather than rebuilding ancient Samarkand - Afrosiyab. The ruins of Afrosiyab were not rebuilt, but a new city was built on the southern part of it. This is why Samarkand is famous for its two historic cities.
Amir Temur constructed tombs such beautiful monuments as the mosque of the mosque, Kuksaroy, Bostonsaroy, Amir Temur, Shakhizinda, and created a beautiful, spacious and beautiful 12 gardens around each other in Samarqand.
