Samarkand will tell you she is not actually from Samarkand. But her home town is no longer on any map. When she was born around 1200 A.D., she lived outside what is now Samarkand in southeastern Uzbekistan. After the Mongols invaded the Khwarezmian Empire in 1219, she was buried alive as a witch.
She doesn’t remember a lot from that time.
She was unearthed by archaeologists in 2018. What they thought they found was an intricate face carved into a massive tree stump. But after they brought in lighting to begin carefully excavating the carving and massive root system, the face began to speak.
The Persian language has changed a lot over that time. That largely is why she doesn’t mind being called Samarkand. Even Farsi speakers don’t pronounce Firuzeh as she remembers. Although she has been acting in all respects as a proper hero since getting reoriented, authorities still have her under observation due to initial instability.
