The Glory of Samarkand: Solving the Mysteries of the Afrasiab Mural

About This Novel

In 1965, during the construction of a highway connecting the historical city of Samarkand and Tajikistan, the ruins known as the "Afrasiab Mural" resurfaced. Although it was partially damaged, it is still a very interesting masterpiece of traditional Sogdian painting. With the insight of a historian and the sensitivity of an iconographer, the Italian scholar Dr. Comatei narrated the history of the Sogdian region from multiple levels and angles by focusing on the frescoes of the "Ambassador's Hall" in Room 1 of the Afrasiab site, and sketched a panoramic picture of the cultural diversity of Central Asia.
