	Ghor - LoveToKnow 1911
		Ghor is mentioned in the Shahnama of Firdousi (A.D. Io10), and in the Arab geographers of that time, though these latter fail in details almost as much as we moderns, thus indicating how little accessible the country has been through all ages.
		The chief part of the present population of Ghor are Taimanis, belonging to the class of nomad or semi-nomad clans called Airak, intermingled with Zuris and Tajiks.
		Besides the thrones of Ghor and Ghazni, the Shansabaniah family, in the person of Fakhruddin, the eldest of the seven sons of Malik `Izzuddin, founded a kingdom in the Oxus basin, having its seat at Bamian, which endured for two or three generations, till extinguished by the power of Khwarizm (1214).

	The Ghaurids :: Khyber.ORG
		Ghor was then the nucleus of a vast but transient military empire which at times stretched from Gorgan in the west to northern India in the east, only to be overwhelmed by the Khwarzim Shahs and to disappear, as far as the eastern Iranian lands were concerned, on the eve of the Mongol cataclysm.
		The chiefs of Ghor only achieve firm historical mention in the early 5th/11th century with the Ghaznavid raids into their land, when Ghor was still a pagan enclave.
		Of more lasting significance for the religious complexion of Ghor was the wide sympathy there for the pietistic, ascetic Sunni sect of the Karramia, which had arisen in Nishapur during the 4th/10th century and had been patronized by the early Ghaznavid sultans.

		Ghor then awakens on the beach, grievously injured and surrounded by the bodies of his men, but no bodies of the bronze men are in sight.

	History of Afghanistan
		The historical accuracy of such tales must, of course, be ques-tioned for when Sultan Mahmud Ghaznavi invaded Ghor in 1009 he found the people to be pagan, but the fickleness of fortune is accurately illustrated and Sultan Mahmud did negotiate with a local Shansabani chief ruling at Ahangaran where prized Ghorid arms were manufactured.
		Fratricidal bickerings at home in Ghor were immediately set aside once this heinous insult became known and a relentless enmity betw&en Ghor and Ghazni began, to end in the obliteration of the Ghaznavids.
		These scenes at Ghazni were repeated several times as the army returned to Ghor; the pleasure villas of Lashkar Gah were gutted, the countryside completely ravaged, and at Firozkoh victory tow-ers were built of Ghazni's soil carried there on the backs of cap-tives whose blood served as mortar.
