Teave
Kiired faktid: Üks nefriitplaat märgib Timuri, 14. sajandi vallutaja, matmispaika, kelle impeerium ulatus Delhist Damaskuseni. Türkiissinine sooniline kuppel tõuseb 34 meetri kõrgusele ja selle arhitektuursed uuendused inspireerisid otseselt Tadž Mahali kujundust kaks sajandit hiljem.
Esiletõstmised: Kui Nõukogude arheoloogid avasid Timuri haua 1941. aastal, leidsid nad pealdise, mis hoiatas, et kes iganes tema säilmeid häirib, vabastab sissetungija, kes on hullem kui Tšingis-khaan. Tunde hiljem alustas Hitler operatsiooni Barbarossa Nõukogude Liidu vastu ja Stalin andis isiklikult korralduse Timuri säilmed täielike islami riitustega ümber matta, lootes kirumist tagasi pöörata.
Sisekujunduse nõuanded
- Walk around the entire exterior first to see how the dome's tile patterns change color from turquoise to deep blue depending on the light angle.
- The small side rooms contain less-visited tombs of Timur's sons and grandsons, each with distinct tilework worth examining.
- Photographers should stand directly under the dome's center and shoot straight up for the best geometric symmetry shot.
- Skip midday visits in summer when the courtyard offers zero shade and temperatures exceed 40°C (104°F).
