Samarkand, Bukhara, and how many other mythical oases dot the endless steppes... Since Antiquity, Central Asia has been a land of crossbreeding and exchange, at the heart of which the Silk Road has left an indelible mark.
There reigned the terrible Tamerlane, who set out to conquer the world and laid the foundations of an empire whose center was Transoxiana. But how did this new Genghis Khan and his heirs, the Timurids, manage to imprint on people's memories the memory of major scientific progress, and even that of a true cultural "renaissance"?
