This is the sound! Now, all I want is a point-and-click PC game that takes us through the entire story of this era, from the perspective of a merchant-adventurer on his travels, encountering key figures and influential people along the way.

i can hear the ghosts of the silk road. Wonderful ambience

[RashFever]

Praise the Algorithm, another great recommendation

Pretty sick piece of music that defo transmits the local vibes. Hails from Tashkent, Uzbekistan

This is right after the Siege of Samarkand where the Russians won and completed their victory over the Emirate of Bukhara? I remember reading about it in the fantastic book 'Great Game' by Peter Hopkirk. Wish someone made a movie about ANY of this Russian colonisation campaign, too many people falsely believe russia was some anti-colonial angel, but they colonised huge swathes of asia. I really love the melancholic tone of this piece. It's like the silence after the storm has settled, the city somewhat emptied, and people come to accept that their way of life has changed

I worked as a Peace Corps volunteer in an Uzbek village -- finally! The algorithm is useful. Shah-i-Zinda is one of the most beautiful places in the world.

In the heart of time,
Silk roads weave through golden sands,
Echoes of the past.

Minarets reach sky,
Ancient whispers of the night,
Stars over deep blue.

Market stalls alive,
Spices dance, rich tales unfold,
Persia's pulse beats strong.

That golden window of time when the remains of the ancient and medieval worlds were still extant crumbling ruins, before modernity got into full wing and cleared everything away in the name of progress.

I don’t why i feel nostalgic for samarkand when i saw this picture like if i was there

[FrostTrollzor]

Reading Calvino's Invisible Cities with this score playing in the background is a transcedental experience.

I am very fascinated by Samarkand and definitely plan to visit it someday in the future. Thank you for a wonderful piece of music.

Sarmakand, 1869. Definitely grabbed my attention. I feel there's something eternal to be felt here.

Blissful. I close my eyes and feel the sand on my skin, a wind blowing through Bibi-Khanym as I watch the sun setting above it. Thanks

I clicked on this because I read a book when I was a kid called the amulet of samarkand and I liked it.

Ulu Türk diyarı ata toprağım. Timur'un gözbebeği. Türkiye'den selam olsun sana. Hep mutlu ve özgür olasın. 🩵

1869 would have been when the Great Game was ongoing. Many British and Russian travelers visited these regions, before Russia conquered most of Central Asia in the late 19th century.
