Question

who created towns near an oasis

Answer 1

Oasis Towns These towns often served as "hand-off" points for passing commodities (i.e. people, animals, goods), or the control of them, from one person, or authority, to another. Some of the best known oasis towns along the Silk Road were in the region of the inhospitable Taklimakan, a desert in Central Asia in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China. Because the desert was hazardous to cross, and little water was available, merchant caravans would stop at the thriving oasis towns. The key oasis towns, watered by rainfall from the mountains, were Kashgar,Marin, Niya, Yarkand, and Khotan (Hetian) to the south, Kuqa and Turpan in the north, and Loulan and Dunhuang in the east. Today many towns, such as Marin, and the area of the ancient oasis city built on the northern rim of the Taklamakan Desert known as Gaochang, remain in sparsely inhabited areas.
