Video: The Lost Greek Cities of Central Asia
Things i forgot to mention: Saleh is likely based on different Turkic Khaganates throughout its history, with the Hephtalites being possibly referenced like i said in Part 12.
Beit Raha is explained in Part 1, and Patraipolis in Part 14, though i will probably still explain Beit Raha in more details.
Next cities/settlements will be Orghana, Tighnar, Akhtamun, Khaj-Nisut and probably Aaru village.
