- Abstract
-
This article explores the architectural heritage of the Timurid dynasty through the lens of English historians, focusing on the cultural, political, and religious significance of key architectural sites. It examines how monumental structures, such as the Gur-e-Amir Mausoleum and the Bibi-Khanym Mosque, symbolized imperial power and contributed to the cultural identity of the region. The study also highlights the influence of Timurid architecture on later Islamic empires, particularly the Mughal dynasty, and discusses the role of English scholars in documenting, preserving, and analyzing these architectural achievements.
