Ismoil Samaniy mausoleum
Hi guys!!! Today we went to the Ismail Samaniy monument .We learned about its history.We got a lot of information. The Samanid Mausoleum is a mausoleum located in the northwestern part of Bukhara, Uzbekistan, just outside its historic center. It was built in the 10th century CE as the resting place of the powerful and influential Islamic Samanid dynasty that ruled the Samanid Empire from approximately 900 to 1000. It contained three burials, one of whom is known to have been that of Nasr II. It is known as the oldest funerary building of Central Asian architecture.The Samanids established their de facto independence from the Abbasid Caliphate in Baghdad and ruled over parts of modern Afghanistan, Iran, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Kazakhstan. It is the only surviving monument from the Samanid era, but American art historian Arthur Upham Pope called it the "one of the finest in Persia" The mausoleum is considered one of the iconic examples of early Islamic architecture .It
