Uzbekistan & Central Asia Tourism Service
with MARAKANDA TRAVEL Ltd
Maracanda: ancient name of Samarkand. Archaeological discoveries suggest that Maracanda was occupied in the fourteenth century BCE. It is situated on the banks of the river Saravšan. In the sixth century BCE, the Persian king Cyrus the Great (559-530) conquered Maracanda and his successor Darius I the Great (522-486), who organized the Achaemenid empire, made it the capital of the satrapy Sogdia. During excavations of the 10-13th century mosque, remains of the ancient temple of the Sogdians were found. Hardly anything is known about this period, although it is likely that Maracanda was sometimes visited by travelers who went from Babylonia, Assyria and Persia to China. (Their route was to become famous as the Silk road.) Two centuries later, the Macedonian king Alexander the Great conquered the Achaemenid empire. Between 329 and 327, he used Maracanda as his base for expeditions in the region. It was in the palace of Maracanda that he celebrated famous drinking parties, and it was by one of those occasion that he accidentally killed his commander-in-chief Clitus.
