The Kalyan minaret:
The Kalyan minaret is a minaret of the Po-i-Kalyan mosque complex in Bukhara,The minaret was built in 1127 (XII century), when Bukhara was part of the Karakhanid state. Uzbekistan and one of the most prominent landmarks in the city.
The minaret, designed by Bako, was built by the Qarakhanid ruler Mohammad Arslan Khan in 1127 to summon Muslims to prayer five times a day. An earlier tower collapsed before completion. It is made in the form of a circular-pillar baked brick tower, narrowing upwards. It is 45.6 metres (149.61 ft) high (48 metres including the point), of 9 metres (29.53 ft) diameter at the bottom and 6 metres (19.69 ft) overhead.
About a hundred years after its construction, the tower so impressed Genghis Khan that he ordered it to be spared when all around was destroyed by his men.[5] It is also known as the Tower of Death, because until as recently as the early twentieth century criminals were executed by being thrown from the top. Fitzroy Maclean, who made a surreptitious visit to the city in 1938, says in his memoir Eastern Approaches, For centuries before 1870, and again in the troubled years between 1917 and 1920, men were cast down to their death from the delicately ornamented gallery which crowns it.
The body of the minaret is topped by a rotunda with 16 arched fenestrations, from which the muezzins summoned the Muslims in the city to prayer. There is a brick spiral staircase that twists up inside around the pillar to the rotunda. Once the minaret was believed to have had another round section above the rotunda, but now only the cone-shaped top remains. The tower base has narrow ornamental strings belted across it made of bricks which are placed in both straight or diagonal fashion. The frieze is covered with a blue glaze with inscriptions.
In times of war, warriors used the minaret as a watchtower to lookout for enemies.[

부하라 중심부에 있는 거대한 두 사원. 그 가운데 우뚝 솟은 첨탑 하나. 과거 기도시간을 알리던 이곳은 그 이름마저 크고 높다는 뜻의 칼란 미나레트다. “칭기즈칸이 쳐들어왔을 때 이 높은 첨탑의 꼭대기를 보려고 고개를 들다가 그만 모자를 떨어뜨렸고 그걸 주우려다 순간 자신도 모르게 허리를 숙이게 되었답니다. 그 후 몽골군이 부하라를 파괴할 때에 ‘이 첨탑은 자신의 고개를 숙이게 한 탑이니 부수지 말라’ 고 해서 이 탑만은 보존된 거죠.” 칭기즈칸은 이 탑에 올라가봤을까? 안으로 들어가본다. 온통 깜깜하고 계단은 몹시 가파르다. 괜한 호기를 부렸다는 후회속에 가다 서다를 반복하길 수차례 기어가다시피 해 가까스로 정상에 오른다. 그리고 바라본 바깥풍경 평평한 전경이 한눈에 들어온다. 사실 이 탑은 내려다보는 탑이 아니다. 어디서든 올려다보면 길잡이가 되는 실크로드의 등대가 바로 이 탑이다.

Two huge temples in central Bukhara. One towering steeple among them. This is the time to announce the past prayer time, which is Calan Minaret, whose name is also big and high. When Chinggis Khan came in, I looked up to see the top of this high steeple, and I dropped my hat off, and when I tried to pick it up I fell down without knowing it myself. Then, when the Mongol army destroyed Bukhara, this tower was preserved because 'this spire is the tower that bowed his head' so do not crumble. Has Chinggisan been on this tower? I go inside. It is all dark and the stairs are very steep. I regret to say that I have a bad breath, but I can not stop repeating it again and again. And at a glance you can see the landscape of the outer landscape. In fact, this tower is not a tower to look down on. This tower is the lighthouse of Silk Road which becomes guide when looking up from everywhere.

Buxoroning markazida joylashgan ikki buyuk ma'bad. Ularning orasida eng kuchli gulxan. Bu namoz vaqti, ya'ni ismi ham katta va baland bo'lgan Minor minorasi ni e'lon qilish vaqti keldi. Chingqis Xon kirib kelganida, men bu baland tepalikning yuqori qismini ko'rib qoldim va shlyapamni tashlab yubordim va uni olishga harakat qilsam, o'zim bilmagan holda yiqildim. Mo'g'ul qo'shinlari Buxoroni vayron qilganda, bu minora saqlanib qoldi, chunki bu shlyapa - boshini eggan minora edi, shuning uchun quloq solmang. Chingizxon bu minora ustida bo'lganmi? Ichkariga kiraman. Qorong'ilik va zinapoyalar juda tik. Yomon nafasim borligini aytishimga afsus qilaman, lekin uni qayta-qayta takrorlashni to'xtata olmayman. Bir qarashda siz tashqi ko'rinishdagi manzara haqida bilib olishingiz mumkin. Aslida, bu minora pastga qarash uchun minora emas. Bu minora Ipak yo'lining dengiz manzarasi bo'lib, u hamma joydan qaraganda yo'lbars bo'ladi.

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.

I crossed the Pacific Ocean on sailing boats as crew and visited The Unites States, Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama, The Marquesas Islands, Tahiti, The Kingdom Of Niue, Rarotonga, Tonga, Fiji, some other small islands and ended up in New Zealand. In New Zealand I cycled 3.000km from the northernmost point to the southernmost point. After that I rode a motorbike from Vietnam to Laos and Cambodia. Recently I converted a Rusian 4x4 UAZ Buhanka oldtimer into a campervan and am driving around Central Asia with my puppy dog.
Bukhara
Uzbekistan is a home of many cities which were the most ancient hubs of science and culture in Central Asian region. Among them, Bukhara deserves a particular tribute with its history, ancient monuments and well-known thinkers. Bukhara is located in the south-northern part of Uzbekistan, downstream of the river Zarafshan. The prehistoric Bukhara and the lands around were quite stunning, rich in fauna and flora, lakes and flowing water. The facts in the work of a historian Narshakhiy “History of Bukhara” prove it clearly. Archaeological excavations have revealed that one of the ancient cities of the east, Bukhara became a settlement as early as the 1st millennium BC. In VI- V centuries BC early unfortified settlements appeared on the banks of the main stream of the river Zarafshan and later in IV century BC the area of Bukhara Arch citadel was circled with high fortress and wide moats. By then some fortified sites had formed in the outskirt. More than 100 historic and architectural monuments such as the Arch citadel of Bukhara, Chashmai Ayub Mausoleum, and the mosques Matki Attori and Namozgoh have survived from early times. Especially, Minoria kalon, Mirarab Madrasah, fortress remains, Labihovuz ensemble Ulugbek Madrasah , as well as the ensembles Chor minor and Sitorai Mohi Hosa welcome thousands of local and foreign tourists every year. Bukhara, with its unique architecture, is the most complete and perfect example of a medieval Central Asian town which has preserved perfectly to the present day. Between the 9th and 16th centuries, Bukhara was the largest center for Islam theology in the Near East, with over two hundred mosques and more than a hundred madrasahs.Bukhara gave to the world such well-known scholars as Imam al-Bukhoriy, Ibn Sino, Narshakhiy and Bakhouddin Nakshband who made their huge contribution to the treasure of human knowledge. The historic center of Bukhara, which contains numerous mosques and madrassas, was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1993 and its 2500-year anniversary was widely celebrated in Uzbekistan in October, 1997.

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.
