Founded in the 1st century BC, it was the residence of the Bukhar-Khudat, the Hephtalite kings who ruled after the Kushans. The city then exceeded Bukhara in size and, when the Arab conquerors seized it, they killed King Sukan and destroyed his palace, then beheaded the military leader who attempted a rebellion. The city, until the 12th century, remained an important economic centre. But it was not as fortunate as Bukhara and, after the Mongols destroyed its irrigation system, it quickly became a ghost town.
