Dor Us-Siyodat Mausoleum — Attraction in Shahrisabz City

Dorus-Siyodat Mausoleum.

The Dor-us Siyodat ("repository of power") memorial complex was intended for the whole Timurid dynasty and was founded after the untimely death of Timur's eldest son, Jakhongir, in 1376. After his death his body was moved from Samarkand to Shakrisabz, the historical homeland of forefathers.

Timur's second son, Umarshaykh (Omar Sheikh), who was killed in 1393 - 1394 during the siege of the fortress of Kurd in Iran, was also buried in the Dor-us Siyodat complex. The tomb intended for Amir Temur remained empty, because fate willed that he was buried in Gur-Emir in Samarkand with his other sons.

The Dor-us Siyodat buildings were destroyed when the forces of the Sheybanid ruler Abdullakhan II entered Shahrisabz in the second half of the XVI century, only the mausoleum of Jakhongir survived.

Il complesso commemorativo Dorus Saodat significa "presa di corrente", la sua costruzione fu iniziata nel 1380. Questo grande complesso fu progettato per lo smaltimento di Timur e di tutti i suoi discendenti. La facciata principale è un potente portale con torri, purtroppo sono rimasti solo contorni parziali. C'è il mausoleo di Jehangir, che è ben conservato. Jehangir era il figlio maggiore di Timur ma nel 1376 morì improvvisamente. Questo triste evento è stato l'occasione per la costruzione del complesso commemorativo Dorus Saodat. Il mausoleo di Jehangir era riccamente decorato con oro, azzurro e piastrelle. C'era un giardino con laghetti. Nel 1394 Umarshayh, che era il secondo figlio di Timur, morì, il suo corpo fu sepolto in Dorus Saodat. Più tardi, Timur ordinò di costruire la tomba per se stesso, ma non fu finito. Tuttavia, grazie alla ricerca archeologica, è stata trovata la cripta di Amir Timur. Pareti, pavimenti, archi e strutture a cupola sono realizzati in pietra calcarea grigio chiaro. Al centro c'è un sarcofago in marmo, coperto da un'enorme lastra monolitica. È una delle strutture più maestose e grandiose dell'epoca di Amir Timur. Il complesso Dorus Saodat nasconde molti misteri e enigmi, ma è uno dei più magnifici complessi architettonici...
