Known as an architectural pearl along the Silk Road, the city has officially been seized by great conquerors as Temujin & Alexander, whose supposed empires encompassed Greater Iran:
- Whose area nearly fits the territory of the Khwarazmian & Timurid empires: Are they partial duplicates?
- Where we find its characteristic architecture, as can be seen in the Jameh Mosque of Isfahan
Two years after the conquest of Khanbaliq by the Ming Empire, Timur besieged Balkh, where Zoroaster supposedly died & also was associated with Shambhala: Are the Timurid & Ming empires partial duplicates of each other?
After that era, the area split into two parts, more or less along the prolonged path of the Gorgan Wall:
- The Bukhara Khanate, part of the heartland of Tartary, where a dynasty from Astrakhan took power around the Time of Troubles: Did they flee Samara for Samarkand, where they constructed the new capital of what would later become Independent Tartary?
- The Safavid Empire, part of the rimland around Tartary, where Abbas restored order after their own Time of Troubles: Did the capture of Bayezid by his predecessor Tahmasp serve as inspiration for a lame biography?
While Turkistan might have been a destination for the fleeing dynasty, some of their members also might have migrated to Japan: Tokugawa Ieyasu founded the shogunate, where Samurai held bureaucratic positions: Do Ieyasu & Yeso refer to Jesus?
After the revolt of Yemelyan Pugachev, the northern part of Great Tartary got conquered by the Russian Empire, while the southern part remained independent, but split into a western & eastern part, roughly similar to the case of the Turkic Khaganate: Fortresses along the Ural & Irtysh marked the border. After China took the eastern Chinese Tartary, Russia focused in the Great Game on acquiring the western remaining Independent Tartary, finalising it with the conquest of a last remainder, the Bukhara Khanate ...
