When Genghis Khan and his bloodthirsty Mongolian warriors approached Bukhara’s mud-brick walls, the inhabitants found themselves, literally, between a rock and a hard place. Defend the city for a shah whom they loathed, or swing open the gates with the hope of being spared the sword... They chose the latter, and their prayers were quickly dashed... Bukhara soon found its men butchered, its treasures stolen, and its mud brick walls in flames.
