* ShownTheirWork: Aladdin is portrayed as an inhabitant of Samarkand, historically one of the capitals of the Kara-Khanid Khanate. The Kara-Khanid Khanate covered what is today Central Asia and the Chinese region of Xinjiang, these being the areas that comprised Turkestan, the most likely setting for the original Aladdin story. Furthermore, the Khanate identified themselves with China via their rulers calling themselves things such as "Khan of China", much of their territory having belonged to the Tang Dynasty, their rulers having formed marriage relations with China's Liao dynasty, and one of their scholars referring to the area around Kashgar, another of their capitals, as "Lower China."
