Day-1. Chor-Bakr necropolis 20.05.2024

 Today was one of the most wonderful days. The group and I went to Chor Bakr, which is located in countryside. We all gathered near the mausoleum of Chor Bakr. It was my first visit there and the feeling was incredible. There I saw a squirrel and gave them food, it's such a feeling that it is impossible to describe in words



The unique Chor-Bakr Memorial Complex (‘memorial complex of four brothers’) is located at a distance of five kilometers southwest of Bukhara in the village of Sumitan. 
At the end of the 16th с Bukhara ruler Abdullah-Khan ordered that a madrasah, a mosque and a khanaka be built in the center of the necropolis, which meant to be a present for the Juybari dynasty. These three buildings form a large yard or even a square. They make up a beautifully integrated and harmonious architectural ensemble. The facades of the khanaka and the mosque are large portals with archways. Their side walls have two-tier loggias, which was not quite typical of such buildings. At the beginning of the 20th с they built a moderate size minaret at the open part of the yard - a replica of Kalyan Minaret in Bukhara.





Chor-Bakr burial rules changed over the years and in the 19th с they buried all the members of the ruling dynasty, including women.

They believe in Bukhara that if a pilgrim in Chor-Bakr makes a wish and visits all the four mausoleums of the saints who all were named Bakr, this wish will certainly come true. 

I liked the place we had been and found many information about it.

 Today  we went to Mogoki Attori mausoleum. In the centre of Bukhara to the west of the famous Lyabi Hauz square is located the oldest mosque in Bukhara – Magoki Attori – is located. Its construction in 714 is associated with the name of the Arab Sheikh, Governor of Khorasan, Qutayba Ibn Muslim – one of the first people who brought Islam to the territory of Central Asia. Even before the arrival of the Arabs to Bukhara, a bazaar was located on the site of the mosque, where before the establishment of Islam, Zoroastrian idols, medicinal herbs and spices – attoron – were sold. And in the beginning, this place was called Attoron Bazaar. There was also a cult Zoroastrian temple of the Moon.In order not to drown out the history of the area, the mosque, built on the site of the destroyed temple of the Zoroastrians, was named Magoki Attori. During its long history, the Magoki mosque suffered from several major fires and was reconstructed more than once. The last construction was carried out in
