17:20 Actually there is no any historical evidance of leaving piles of skulls by Amir Temur. The painting you have showed is called "The Apotheosis of War", it was made by Russian war artist Vasily Vereshchagin in 1871. On the painting the Samarkand city's walls are visible, it may be a reference to the Siege of Samarkand in the summer of 1868 in which the Russian garrison repulsed a Bukhara Emirate advance. On the work's frame, Vereshchagin inscribed that he dedicated the painting "to all great conquerors, past, present and to come".
The madaaris (think that is the plural of madrassah) are just exquisite in their shape and colour! What fine craftsmanship. I liked when you used to sign off your videos with "Peace!" Jason! Bring it back please! 🫡
Jason, your guide is truly exceptional. The pacing is perfect and the narration is exquisite, both of which contribute greatly to the viewer's immersion in this incredible place. Thank you!
What a lovely hotel!! I’m planning to solo travel to the five “stans” in 2025. Your videos are a very good help to me. Thank you for the excellent historical information. Your calm and clear delivery is such an added bonus.
