There is evidence of human activity in the area of the city from the late Paleolithic Era, but the city itself was fully established by the 8 cnetury BCE. Prospering from its location on the Silk Road between China and Europe, at times Samarkand was one of the largest cities of Central Asia. The city was conquered by Alexander the Great in 329 BCE, when it was known as Markanda 3D model made in Reality Capture using 323 FARO Focus3D, Z&F, and Leica RTC 360 scan positions and 24,543 images.
