In the spring of the year 1092, the old army road, which extended starting from Samarkand and Bukhara to the foot of Mount Ilbuzar north of Khorasan, witnessed a caravan of great importance, departing Bukhara with the beginning of snow melting, and fueling the journey for several weeks. The caravan leaders waved their whips, urging with their loud shouts the nearly exhausted animals. The only camels with humps, mules, and two-humped camels advanced in a long column, and the caravan men riding small horses with long hair looked at the mountain range standing on the horizon in a state of boredom from the long wait.
