Now this state is located in modern territory of Karakalpakstan and Khorezm regions.In 4-3 centuries BC Khorezm experienced an economic and cultural revival in terms of expanding and improving irrigation systems, building new cities (Bazar Kala and Janbas Kala fortifications), developing crafts and art.

By the XIII century greatly increased the influence of the tribal chiefs, and they were invited by Genghis Khan Dynasty to take state power in Khorezm. However, the real authority was concentrated in the hands of Uzbek tribal chiefs with title Atalik.
