Ismoil Somoniy

 Day 6. 👋👋Hello everyone. Today's blog is about Ismoil Somoniy. Weather is very great. Let's start.

The Somanii Mausoleum is an old architectural monument located in the territory of the Bukhara City Culture and Recreation Park, the mausoleum of Ismail Somonii, the founder of the Somanii State, and his descendants (about 892-907). The mausoleum is one of the first mausoleums in the history of architecture and art of Central Asia, and its structure is a great architectural work that preserves the traditions of ancient Sughd architecture.

If we talk about the personality of Ismail Somani, he is a great political figure who founded the state of Somanis in Bukhara. Ismail Somani was born in Bukhara in 848, in 874 he became the deputy of the Samanis in Bukhara, and from 888 he became the governor of the entire Movarunnahr. Ismail Somani carried out the policy of strengthening the central government and gathered scholars, writers, masters and craftsmen from different places to Bukhara. He made a great contribution to the development of culture. Taking the example of the caliphs of Baghdad, he built a huge mausoleum for himself. In 893, he marched to Taraz and strengthened the northern borders. In 900, he united Movarounnahr and Khurasan.

During the period when the architectural monument was built, local states independent of the Arab caliphate began to form in Central Asia. In Khurasan, the Tahiri state was established, and in Movarounnahr, the Somani state was established. Local states were united around a single center, and science flourished. In 874, Ismail was appointed viceroy of Bukhara. At that time, his brother Nasr was ruling in Movarounnahr. Relations between Nasr and Ismail broke down in 888, leading to war. Ismail, who won the war, became the ruler of all Movarounnahr. In 893, he marched to Taroz and strengthened the northern borders.

The Ismail Somoni mausoleum is a unique work of the world schools of architecture and construction. Architects and builders proudly mention this unique architectural monument, historians study its creation, and artists fondly depict its images in various objects.

The mausoleum of Ismail Somoni shows how advanced and developed the art of architecture and construction techniques were in Bukhara in the 9th century. From that time on, high-quality baked bricks and alabaster mixtures were used in construction.

The decorative brick skin gives the structure a sense of lightness. The entrance door openings are made in the form of an arrow-shaped arch. These solutions, especially pointed arch and domed roof structures, were widely used not only in the architecture of Bukhara, but also in the architecture of Central Asia.

There are many positive aspects to using dome closures that are born out of necessity.
