Samarkand was a thriving, bustling center of trade and a major city along the Silk Road. It's openness and diverse peoples made it a great city. It was a east-west convergence point. Marco Polo indeed passed through there and the Mongols made it their capital at one point. I encourage you guys to look it up sometime, even on Wiki. Fascinating stuff.
I was really impressed with the efficient way you guys narrowed it down at the beginning. Good job everyone.
Ok Tully, you are up. Where in the world are you?
