« If what we’re discovering is a highland political realm that’s differentiated from the lowlands, then it paints a very different picture of who the players were in medieval Central Asia. If we’re right, we’ve got a new kid on the block. These people weren’t the barbarian horse-riding hordes that history has often painted them as. They were mountain populations, probably with nomadic political systems, but they were also investing in major urban infrastructure. This changes everything we thought we knew about Central Asian history. »
