The end of 14 century was fatal for Urgench : five times Timur conquered and destroyed it taking away scientists , doctors ,builders and other masters . In 1388 he gave the city to his troops for destruction and ordered , as Timur’s historiographer wrote , “to take the citizens to Samarkand and totally destroy the city of Urgench and sow it with barley”
