Book made in Turkey for Turkmenistan, 2004. The book comes in the Turkmen and Turkish language and is about the tomb of Ahmad Sanjar.
The Tomb of Ahmad Sanjar is a mausoleum commemorating Ahmad Sanjar, a Seljuk ruler of Khorasan. It was built in 1157 in the medieval city of Merv in the Karakum Desert in Turkmenistan.
Throughout his reign, Sanjar fought off several invasions and uprisings until finally being defeated by the Oghuz. In 1221, the Mongols attacked and burned down the mausoleum.
It would later be restored by Soviet, Turkmen, and Turkish architects during the 20th and 21st centuries. The tomb is part of The State Historical and Cultural Park “Ancient Merv”, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
