記得在烏茲別克的兩個禮拜我都不怎麼喜歡這個國家🙄 覺得這裡的景點也不怎麼樣，為什麼會被列為亞洲最佳旅遊地點之一🤔⁣ ⁣ 直到我來到了撒馬爾罕的雷吉斯坦廣場👀 夜晚的光芒打在三座巨大的神學院與清真寺上，實在有夠壯觀❤️ 當場我忍不住「哇！」了一聲，覺得單單看到這個景色，烏茲別克就值得來了😍⁣ ⁣ 這三座神學院分別建造於 1409、1420 以及 1636。從壯觀的拱門以及細緻的磁磚，可以想像當時這裡因為絲路而多麼的榮華富貴🐫 只可惜絲路越來越沒落，雷吉斯坦廣場自然也變成廢墟 😔⁣ ⁣ 所幸蘇聯控管烏茲別克之後，開始花大量經費維修，才讓我們看到今天如此完整的樣子😁 不然說真的看到以前的廢墟照片，根本很難想象兩者是同個地方啊～ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ 📍 Samarkand, Uzbekistan⁣ ⁣ I remembered during the two weeks in Uzbekistan, I wasn't really found on this country 🙄⁣ ⁣ This changed when we arrived in Registan Square that night 🌌 The Madrasah were so magnificent it literally took my breath away❤️⁣ ⁣ The three Madrasahs and mosques were built in 1409, 1420 and 1636 separately 😌 It's easy to imagine what a glorious past Samarkand had during the silk road trading time🐫 ⁣ ⁣ Unfortunately it became a giant ruin after other trade routes were discovered 😔 Thankfully the Soviets actually restored the buildings back to its formal glory😍 ⁣ ⁣ Otherwise just by looking at the old photos, it is hard to imagine they the same places😲⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #乌兹别克斯坦 #ウズベキスタ #UNESCO #世界遺產 #ユネスコ #トラベル #travel #igtravel #centralasia #中亞 #中央アジア #feeluzbekistan⁣⁣⁣⁣ #visituzbekistan #Samarkand #撒馬爾罕 #サマルカンド #古都 #uzbekistan #silkroad #烏茲別克 #chic #registansquare #レギスタン広場 #雷吉斯坦廣場 #prettylittletrips #girlsgoneglobal #archilovers #背包客棧 #イスラム教 #islam

According to legends, the tombstone of Timur has an inscriptions which says: “When I Rise From the Dead, The World Shall Tremble”. In year 1941, Joseph Stalin ordered the opening of the tomb of Timur. Russian anthropologist by the name Mikhail Gerasimov was given the task of exhumation. Tamerlane’s tomb was actually opened on June 20, 1941 which immediately filled the mausoleum with a choking odor of frankincense, rose, camphor and resin. Initially it was thought that it was the smell of different curses but later it was found that the smell was actually from oils used for embalming. It is being said that there was another inscription inside the tomb which said, ‘Whosoever Disturbs My Tomb Will Unleash an Invader More Terrible than I’. It is being said that three elderly people and Muslim clergy warned Mikhail Gerasimov about the wrath of the cruse but it was completely ignored. The three old men also warned him that curse will take effect within 3 days from the date when the tomb will be opened and that wrath will befall the land of those who open the tomb. Nazi Germany under the command of Adolf Hitler invaded Soviet Union on June 22, 1941, exactly two days after Tamerlane’s tomb was opened and the remains of Timur were sent to Moscow. After numerous defeats at the hands of Germans, Stalin eventually ordered that the remains of Timur be returned to his tomb with full Islamic burial rights. This is exactly what was done on December 20, 1942 and Tamerlane’s remains were returned to his tomb at Samarkand. Shortly after Timur’s remains were put back in his tomb with full Islamic burial, German forces surrendered and the Soviets won the Battle of Stalingrad which till date, remains one of the bloodiest battles of World War II. . 📍Gur-e-Amir, Samarqand, Oʻzbekiston (Самарканд, Ўзбекистон) 🇺🇿 . . . . . . . . . #instatravel #traveler #globetrotter #nofilter #TFLers #TagsForLikes #instadaily #photoodtheday #POTD #igersmy #igersmalaysia #livefolk #travel3sixty #airasia #cntraveler #lonelyplanet #wanderlust #passionpassport #vsco #vscogood #huffpostgram #projectvacation #anewbreedoftraveller #nationalgeographic #uzbekistan #centralasia #madrasah #mosque #islam
