All of conquest, conquest of Russia is veryimportant. In 1391 Timur pursued Tokhtamysh into theRussian steppes and defeated and dethroned him; butTokhtamysh raised a new army and invaded the Caucasusin 1395. After his final defeat on the Kur River,Tokhtamysh gave up the struggle; Timur occupiedMoscow for a year.

Architectures ofTimur

Timur was not only a great conqueror, he was also agreat builder. Whenever he laid waste to a city thatstood in the path of his army, he would bring back theartisans to build his royal city of Samarkand. "Therewere sculptors, stone-masons and stucco-workers fromAzerbaijan, Isfahan and Delhi, Mosaic-workers fromShiraz; weavers, glass-blowers and potters fromDamascus - in such numbers that 'the city was not bigenough to hold them.

There are too many Timurid monuments in Samarkand toexamine in one paper. From where there are the majorstructures still standing in Samarkand which Timurhimself was responsible for building.

# “The fabulous Gur-i Amir (The Great Prince)” is amausoleum which was originally designed to house the

body of Timur's favorite grandson, Muhammad Sultan(1375-1403), who was buried there. Timur's body alsorests in this complex as well as several members of hisfamily.

# “The Bibi Khanum (The Old Queen)” mosque, 27 wasreputedly named after Timur's favorite wife, Saray MulkKhanum, the daughter of the puppet Chagatay khan. It iscalled Masjid –i-Jami.

# “The Shah-i- Zinda(the living king)” is a complex ofsixteen building which was originally built tocommemorate Qasam Ibn Abbas, supposedly the cousinofMohammad himelf who came to preach Islamion Samarkandoin 676. And the other one

# “The Madrasha of Ulugh Beg” is located on theRegistan, the large squire which described in 1888 bylord Curzon, the viceroy of India, as the noblestpublic squire in the world Oljeitu’s Mausoleum.

Although Timur concentrated his architectural effortson Samarkand, he also concentrated in building in othercities such as Shah-i-Sabz where he constructed amagnificent Aq Saray (white palace) and Turkestan wherehe created a mosque and mausoleum in honor of HojaAhmed Yasari, a famous poet and Sufi Sheikh.

In focus Timur was a conqueror * Ascending period (1370ad)

* Before death his expanding territory

# Imprudent,braver,indiminish

* Evaluate by the Historian

“This man was Timur, who wanted to be a second Chengiz Khan. He claimed to be descended from Chengiz, but he was really a Turk. He was lame and istherefore called Timur-i-lang or Timur the Lame or Tamurlane” (Jawharlal Nehru, Glimpses of World

History, Page-247)

Harold Lame .;"Unfortunately nothing he accomplished survived for long after his death. Building an empireentirely around his personality it died with him."book name..Tamerlane the the Earth Shaker

*Evaluate by Himelf

“If there is a God in the sky ,as like there might have an Emperor on the earth and it’s me” (Mulfuzat-i-Timuri, Eng.Translated by Mazor Stuart Charles, Book of Memories of Timur, London 1830)

# Evaluate by the Jenessary Group

# In the circumstances we wanna say that he was the Alexander of Asia as well as the world conqueror.
