Samarcand, which contains the tomb of Tamerlane and the famous palace where the blue stone is kept on which each new khan must seat himself on his accession, is defended by a very strong citadel. Karschi, with its triple cordon, situated in an oasis, surrounded by a marsh peopled with tortoises PJS Naiset Windbreaker Trench and lizards, is almost impregnable, Is-chardjoui is defended by a population of twenty thousand souls.
