HISTORY OF THE GREAT SAMARKAND AND ITS WAY TO THE PRESENT DAY

Abstract

There are several hypotheses about the origin of the word "Samarkand". The authors of the East proposed a number of artificial definitions, considering the first part of the word "Samarkand", ie the word "Samar" as the name of the person who founded or conquered the city.

The article describes the history of the Great Samarkand and its history to this day.
