Chashma Ayub's Mausoleum in Bukhara, Uzbekistan
Well, I'm still confused. It's sorta odd that the Museum of the history of the water supply in Bukhara would be put in the same building as a mausoleum, but I suppose anything's possible. If somebody knows the situation, one way or another, please write about it in the comments box below. Taken on Sunday 25/September/2016.

Bukhara/Uzbekistan:
Buhara (Bukhara,Boxoro) which is situated on the Silk Route, is more than 2,000 years old. It is the most complete example of a medieval city in Central Asia, with an urban fabric that has remained largely intact. Monuments of particular interest include the famous tomb of Ismail Samani, a masterpiece of 10th-century Muslim architecture, and a large number of 17th-century madrasas.
Bukhara, which is situated on the Silk Route, is some 25 centuries old. It is the most complete example of a medieval city in Central Asia, with an urban fabric that has remained largely intact. Monuments of particular interest include the famous tomb of Ismail Samani, a masterpiece of 10th-century Muslim architecture, and a large number of 17th-century madrasas. The historic part of the city, which is in effect an open-air museum, combines the city's long history in a single ensemble.
Archaeological excavations have revealed that the settlement on the site of latter-day Bukhara became part of the Kushan state as early as the 2nd millennium BC. In the 4th century it was incorporated into the Ephtalite state. Before the Arab conquest Bukhara was one of the largest cities of central Asia, owing its prosperity to its site on a rich oasis and at the crossroads of ancient trade routes. It became a major cultural centre of the Caliphate of Baghdad in 709, and in 892 the capital of the independent Samanid Kingdom. A time of great economic growth came to an end with the sack of the city in 1220 by the Mongol horde of Genghis Khan. It slowly recovered, to become part of the Timurid Empire. The internal strife of the late 15th century led to the occupation of Bukhara by nomadic Uzbek tribesmen led by Khan Sheibani, becoming the capital of the Bukhara Khanate. A long period of unrest and short-lived dynasties ended in 1920, when it was absorbed into the Soviet Union; nevertheless, this period saw Bukhara consolidating its role as a major commercial and cultural centre.
The townscape of latter-day Bukhara represents every stage of the city's history. The earliest monuments include the 10th century Ismail Samani Tomb, the decorated brick minaret of Poi-Kalyan from the 11th century, along with the Magoki Mosque and the Chasma Ayub Shrine. The Timurid period is represented only by the Ulugbek Medresseh. The most celebrated buildings date from the Shebibanid period - the Poi-Kalyan group, the Lyabi-Khauz ensemble, the Kosh Medresseh, and the Gaukushon Medresseh. A little later came the medressehs at important crossroads, such as Taki Sarafon (Dome of the Moneyshangers, Taki-Tilpak-Furushan (Dome of the Headguard Sellers), Tim-Bazzazan, and Tim-Abdullah-Khan. Among the fine buildings erected in the anarchic early 17th century must be included the great new mosque Magoki Kurns (1637) and the imposing Abdullah-Khan Medresseh. It should be stressed, however, that the real importance of Bukhara lies not in its individual buildings but rather in its overall level of urban planning and architecture, which began with the Sheibanid dynasty.
Historical Description
Archaeological excavations have revealed that the settlement on the site of latter-day Bukhara became part of the Kushan state as early as the 2nd millennium BC. In the 4th century BC it was incorporated into the Ephtalite state. Before the Arab conquest, Bukhara was one of the largest cities of central Asia, owing its prosperity to its site on a rich oasis and at the crossroads of ancient trade-routes. The ancient Persian city covered an area of nearly 40 hectares, with the ark (citadel), the residence of its rulers, in the north-west quarter (where it survives as a huge rectangular earthen mound).
It became a major cultural centre of the Caliphate of Baghdad in 709. In 892 Emir Ismail ibn Amad (892-907) created an independent state and chose Bukhara as the capital of the powerful Sarnanid kingdom. There followed a period of great economic and cultural growth, when the city grew enormously in size, especially under the rule of the Karakhanids from the 11th century onwards. In 1220 the city was sacked by the Mongol horde of Chinghiz Khan (1220) and was not to recover until the second half of the 13th century. In 1370 it became part of the great Timurid Empire, whose capital was at Samarkand. Bukhara was still the second city of Maverannahr, and building was renewed.

Bukhara - The Holy City
Bukhara is one of the most ancient cities of Uzbekistan, situated on a sacred hill, the place where sacrifices were made by fire-worshippers in springtime. This city was mentioned in a holy book Avesto. Bukhara city is supposed to be found in the 13th cent. B.C. during the reign of Siyavushids who came to power 980 years before Alexander the Great. The name of Bukhara originates from the word vihara which means monastery in Sanskrit. The city was once a large commercial center on the Great Silk Road.
Bukhara lies west of Samarkand and was once a center of learning renowned throughout the Islamic world. It is the hometown of the great Sheikh Bakhouddin Nakshbandi. He was a central figure in the development of the mystical Sufi approach to philosophy, religion, and Islam. In Bukhara, there are more than 350 mosques and 100 religious colleges. Its fortunes waxed and waned through succeeding empires until it became one of the great Central Asian Khanates in the 17th century.
Bukhara with more than 140 architectural monuments is a town museum dating back to the Middle Ages. 2,300 years later, ensembles like Poi-Kalyan, Ismail Samani Mausoleum, Ark, Lyabi-Khauz are attracting a lot of attention. The city consists of narrow streets, green parks and gardens, historical and architectural monuments belong to the different epochs but locate very close to each other.
Bukhara popular monuments and sights
Kalyan minaret was designated to summon Muslims to prayer five times a day. Normally, each mosque had its own minaret, but the main minaret was situated near the Djuma Mosque. It was from the gallery, at the top of the minaret, that the muedzin summoned the believers to prayer at the top of his voice.
Khoja-Gaukushon is one of the largest ensembles of the city and includes the mosque, minaret, and madrasah. In past Gaukushon was the large trade square of Bukhara. It got its name due to the slaughter-house, which once existed on this site because Gaukushon is translated as killing of bulls
Lyabi-Hauz rectangular (36 – 46 meters height), stretched from the east to the west, is buried in the shadow of venerable chinaras. Its shores are formed with stair launch to the water, made from massive blocks of yellow limestone. In old times there was «tea bazar», there sold sweets, dainties, bread and made food.
Nadir Divan-begi madrasah is a part of the architectural complex located round well-known Lyabi-Hauz in Bukhara. The madrasah building, as well as khanaka nearby, were named after vizier Nadir by whose order they were constructed. Vizier Nadir served at a court yard of one the strongest and powerful representatives of Ashtarkhanid dynasty Imamkuli-khan, who ruled in Bukhara in 1611-1642.
Samanids mausoleum was erected as a family crypt immediately after the death of Ismail Samani's father. Later, Ismail himself and his grandson Hasr were also buried in it. It is interesting to note that erecting crypts was against Islamic law at that time, for Islam forbade erecting any post-mortem monuments upon the tombs of Muslim believers.
Chashma-Ayub well means Saint Job’s Source. A legend has it that the Bible prophet Job, having visited this land, decided to help the people who suffered from water shortage in the desert. He struck the ground with his stick, making a source of crystal clear water sprang at that place.
Abdullaziz-khan madrasah built it in 1651 – 1652 and it is the last large madrasah in Bukhara. The building is typical by composition, with four-ayvans yard, but with unordinary divergent fan of hudj groups after side ayvans and cupola buildings on the central axis.
Miri-Arab madrasah is one of the best Bukhara sights of 16 century. Architecture and décor of Miri-Arab distinguish by highest culture and taste. At present in this monument, which underwent catastrophical destruction, portal and whole northern wing of main facade were restored up, cupola and yard-arcades construction were strengthen.
Between the 9th and 16th centuries, Bukhara was the largest center for Muslim theology, particularly on Sufism, in the Near East, with over two hundred mosques and more than a hundred madrasahs.

Bukhara-Tomb of King Ismail Samani
Mausoleum of Ismail Samani
At the end of Bagh e Istrahat (Comfort Garden) in Bukhari, there is a beautiful old fashioned tomb of Ismail Samani (849-907 AD), a great king of Samani Empire (819-999 AD) of Central Asia which ruled present day Khorasan (Iran) Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan and parts of Pakistan, China and Russia. It was one of the greatest empires of the time. This mausoleum was built in the IX century at the command of Ismail Samani on the grave of his father, Ahmad bin Asad bin Saman Khuda. He was the founder of the first centralized state in Central Asia. He ruled Transoxiana from 882 to 907. The Mausoleum is now mainly known as burial place of Ismail Samani although it contains the remains of his father and few other descendants.
Chashma Ayub in Bukhara
This monument called ChashmaAyub (Job’s Fountain) is assigned to Abrahamic Prophet Ayub (Job/Ayup) who is famous for his patience and endurance. According to legend, he dug a well here by striking his staff on the ground. Currently, it houses the Museum of the holy water which has remarkable healing and soothing effect. The Fountain is located near the tomb of great Samani King, Ismail Samani.

# 8 Zijderoute - Bukhara (Uzbekistan) - Historische stad aan de zijderoute
- - Autoreis: In de voetsporen van Marco Polo - -
* Bukhara:
De bevolking bestaat voor het merendeel uit etnische Oezbeken en Tadzjieken.
Samen met Samarkand vormt het de twee belangrijkste historische en culturele centra.
Het was tot 1868 een onafhankelijk gebied; eerst onder de naam kanaat Buchara en later als het emiraat Buchara.
Later werd het een gedeeltelijk autonome regio van het Russische Rijk (onderdeel van het gouvernement-generaal Turkestan) en de Sovjet-Unie.
Het historische centrum van Buchara is door UESCO tot werelderfgoed verklaard.
De gerestaureerde monumenten zijn in de loop der eeuwen vaak meerdere malen (deels) herbouwd.
Tot de belangrijkste bezienswaardigheden behoren:
• Het Po-i-Kalân Complex bestaande uit:
• De Kalyan-minaret of Grote Minaret (Perzisch: Minârâ-i
Kalân deels 12e eeuw.
• De Kalân-moskee
• De Mir-i Arab- madrassa
• Het Ismail Samani- mausoleum uit de 10e eeuw, in de vroege
20e eeuw uitgegraven en gerestaureerd.

• Het Lab-I Hauz (Bij de vijver) ensemble met de Nadir
Divanbegi-madrassa (vroege 17e eeuw) en de Kukeldash-
madrassa (late 16e eeuw)
• De Kosh-madrassa, bestaand uit de Modar-I Khan- en de
Abdullah Khan-madrassa.
• Ulug Beg Madrassa (vroege 15e eeuw) en de
tegenoverliggende 17e-eeuwse Abdul Azis Madrassa.
• Chor Minor (Vier minaretten); de voormalige (19e-eeuwse)
toegangspoort tot een madrassa.
• Magok-i-Attari, deels 16e-eeuws, gebouwd op vroegere
fundamenten van onder meer een zoroastrische tempel.
• De als bazaar fungerende:
• Tok-i Zaragon, koepel van de juweliers.
• Tok-i Tilpak Furushon, koepel van de hoedenmakers.

Zijderoute:
Oezbekistan heeft zijn uitzonderlijk rijk verleden te danken aan zijn ligging in Centraal-Azië.
Het is eeuwenlang het kloppend hart van Azië geweest.
Door zijn unieke ligging was het een internationale draaischijf van de handel langsheen de karavaanroutes tussen China en Europa.
Deze zijderoute verbond het verre China met Europa en was van uitzonderlijk belang, niet alleen op handelsvlak, maar ook op het gebied van cultuur en wetenschap.
De Gouden Route ligt voornamelijk in het huidige Oezbekistan, een onafhankelijke staat in Centraal-Azië.
De Sjah Rah of Koninklijke Weg verbond Samarkand met Boechara en was de drukste karavaanroute in de geschiedenis. Karavanen bestaande uit meer dan 3.000 kamelen waren geen uitzondering en legden de afstand van 250 km tussen beide steden af in een week tijd.
Tot voor kort was dit gebied met zijn uitzonderlijke geschiedenis van Scythen, Parthen, Samaniden en Timoeriden moeilijk toegankelijk.
In 1995 besliste de Unesco bijzondere aandacht aan de ontwikkeling van de legendarische Zijderoute te schenken vanwege het groot cultuur-historisch belang van dit gebied.
Bukhara - Uzbekistan - Episode 4
#uzbekistan #bukhara #andy1803
Bukhara, Buxoro in uzbek language, one of the main city in Uzbekistan, is over the world famous for its carpets production. But the town offers much more than this. The UNESCO designated its historic center as a World Heritage since 1993. Effectively the old town is an architectural treasure with the mosques, the minarets, the madrasas, the fortress, etc. witnessing its glorious past when Bukhara was the capital of the homonym Khanate in the 16-th century. Located along the major Silk Road, the city had a busy trade history followed by several invasions, the hardest among them by the mongolian emperor, Gengis Khan, who destroyed the almost entirely town.
There is plenty of interesting buildings to visit there and this is not the right place for listing them all. My suggestion is to walk in the historical quartiers and explore them following your own instinct. Start your tour from the Lyab-i-Hauz, the main square with its pool and fountains remembering you that Bukhara is an oasis anyway. It is the heart of the town, the right place to feel the vibes of this wonderful city and to meet its friendly people. The Po-i-Kalyan complex with the noble minaret of Kalyan in sunset lights is one of the most iconic view of the entire Uzbekistan, something I cannot forget, as it is the Char Minar madrasa, just at the edge of the old town, where we arrived early in a bright sunny morning.
In this short film you can see some other exciting places, like the Bolo Hauz mosque with its wooden columns, the Ark of Bukhara that was ancient royal palace, the Maghoki-Attar mosque, probably one of the oldest in central Asia, the Chasma Ayub, a mausoleum built over a spring. But these are just examples of the beauty of Bukhara. It is up on you how much you want to see.
Last but not least, don’t forget to visit the bazaars as local handicraft is very nice, the carpet expositions if you’re interested in carpets and the popular market where you can taste a delicious street food. And if you prefer a more traditional meal, you’ll have only the difficulty of making a choice among the different good restaurants of the town. Likewise, there is no problem concerning accommodations as the city offers all kind of hotels and B&B with interesting rates.
Uzbekistan, and Bukhara consequently, was a great experience. We discovered a country different from our and, moreover, we met its friendly people I’m sure I won’t forget. Everywhere we got a warm hospitality, feeling that people were pleased by our presence.
To get the best from a trip like this, it is fundamental to rely on local resources. We found a higher level of competence I could not imagine. It is mandatory for me to thank Responsible Travel, an uzbek tour operator located in Jizzakh but contactable from every part of the world (nuratau.com). It was our referent for logistic, tour planning, transports, etc. Ask for Mr. Sherzod Norbekov, whatever you may need he will find the best solution for you.
Some technical information. Mostly for filming I used an Olympus OM-D EM5 MKII mirrorless camera and a GoPro Hero 7 black. For Color grading, post-production and editing, I used Cyberlink Powerdirector suite 5, as always. Photos, in this film, as in the others, are mostly by Francesca Sparatore, shot with a Nikon D3100.
The track “A long story” is by Damiano Baldoni, an extraordinary composer, and is available on Free Music Archive.
