Population on 01-Jan-99 : 362300
-------------------------------
Samarkand (Samarqand or ????????? in Uzbek, in Persian ??????) (population 362,300 in 1999) is the third-largest city in Uzbekistan and the capital of Samarqand Province. It is located at latitude 39? 39' 15, longitude 66? 57' 35E, at an altitude of 702 meters. The majority of the city's inhabitants are Tajik-speaking. In 2001, after several abortive attempts, UNESCO inscribed the 2700-year-old city on the World Heritage List as Samarkand - Crossroads of Cultures.
Samarkand (Greek: Marakanda) is one of the oldest inhabited cities in the world, prospering from its location on the (Silk Road) trade route between China and Europe. At times Samarkand has been the greatest city of Central Asia, and for much of its history it has been under Persian rule. Founded circa 700 BCE it was already the capital of the Sogdian satrapy under the Achaemenid dynasty of Persia when Alexander the Great conquered it in 329 BCE (see Afrasiab, Sogdiana).
