Samarkand had been known since the middle of the 1st millennium BC., and firstly it was mentioned as Markand in the texts of Avesta, the capital of the rich region Sogd (Sogdiana). Almost completely destroyed by the troops of Alexander the Great, the legendary Sogdian Afrasiab was rebuilt a little away from its original location, and once again became the center of the Ariana province (one of the titles of the city - "Makhfuza" can be translated as "stored")
In 712 the Arab forces under the command of Kuteyba ibn-Muslim occupied the city, but within a year the first of the popular uprisings that almost a century shook the north-eastern outskirts of the Caliphate, broke out. And in 809, thanks to these rebellions, Samarkand again got a degree of independence and became the largest city region. March 17, 1220 the army of Genghis Khan marched into Samarkand, and in 1227 after his death the city became the residence of the second son of Genghis Khan - Chagatai.
In the XIV-XV centuries the citadel and city walls were built, wide streets were laid, grandiose architectural ensembles were erected, and on the perimeter the city was surrounded with a giant ring of 13 huge parks and gardens.
