The city of Karshi or Qarchi developed from a colony which was established from the 7th century BC. It was then that defensive walls began to be built around the ancient city. The remains of the ruins of these walls were first studied by archaeologists in 1999.
There is evidence that the city at this time had the Sogdian name Navtak, which can literally be translated as "New Building". As part of the Greco-Bactrian kingdom, the city may have been called Eucratideus.
The Dorut Tilavat (Dor-i-Tilavat/Dorut Tilovat/Dor al-Tilavat) complex is a "house of meditation". It has a large Friday mosque Kouk Gumbaz and the mausoleum of Goumbazi Saydan.
