The Timurid Dynasty had one of its capitals in Herat, Afghanistan and well as Samarqand, Uzbekistan, and covered all of modern-day Iran. In addition to the above regions, Timurid rule extended to parts of contemporary Pakistan, India, Turkey, and the Caucasus. The dynasty was founded by the Turkic ruler Timur (Tamerlane) in the 14th century, coalescing into an empire by 1370 AD. It eventually weakened and was replaced by the Safavid dynasty in 1501 AD.
