400 miles closer to Tashkent... ..Samarkand, the Silk Road city Darron has wanted
to visit since he was a schoolboy. Wow. Now, that looks amazing.
That's pretty impressive, isn't it? The architecture is amazing. There's nothing like this in Europe. Why don't I take a photo of you? You know how to work it, don't you? I'm not stupid. At its centre,
the Ulugh Beg Observatory - in the 15th century, at the cutting
edge of astronomy and mathematics. This was an early version
of how to understand the sun. Looks like a fun little slide
to visit since he was a schoolboy. Wow. Now, that looks amazing.
