==History== ===Origin=== The earliest known reference to the region now called Botan appears in the works of Herodotus (484–426 BC). He identified a land known as “Bukht and ikh” as part of the Achaemenid Empire’s dominions. Over the centuries, the name gradually shifted in pronunciation and form, evolving through Bokhti and Buhtan before becoming Botan.
