Next is a somewhat special place as it is the tomb on Timur (and I promise in a few days I will explain all about him 
to site is called “Gur-Emir”, in English “Tomb of the Commander”, it is the mausoleum of the 14th-century Mongol conqueror Timur, or Tamerlane. Though it has suffered from time and earthquakes, the monument is still sumptuous. Completed in 1404, it was originally intended to be the tomb of Timurs grandson Muhammad Shah, but after Timurs death in 1405 whilst on a campaign to China he was brought back and interred there as well, along with other members of his family.

The extant structures in the complex consist of a chapel crowned with a ribbed blue-tiled dome, enclosed by a wall, and fronted by an archway. The mausoleum plays an important place in the history of Islamic Architecture as the precursor and model for the great Mughal tombs of Humayun in Delhi and the Taj Mahal in Agra, built by Tamerlanes / Timurs descendants, the ruling dynasty of North India (now I bet that was a bit of a surprise to you well it was to me as well)
I sometime have to remind myself that we are not the only people interested in these places as there are many many locals who are visiting the sights as of course it is there country and it is there history as well.
I suppose the Tower of London has lots of English visitors as well 
Quite a place and well worth an hour or so. We are going to finish our tour tomorrow morning and we get a couple of hours off to be tourists and get some supplies for some long road trips we have planned so we are off to yet another market (well tomorrow on the blog, what do you think of it so far ??)
