Sultan Sanjar Mausoleum
The Sultan Sanjar Mausoleum was constructed in the 12th century in Merv, an old Silk desert city. Merv was once thought to be the world’s biggest city, with a capacity of over 1 million people in medieval times.
Sultan Sanjar fell madly in love with the peri (fairy) who chose to marry him under 3 conditions: he never could glance at her feet while she moved, never stare at her as she brushed her hair, but never touch her waistline, as according to local folklore. Sanjar realized that she moved without hitting the ground, lifted her head to brush her hair, and had no bones in the waist when he disobeyed her instruction. The gorgeous peri went away, enraged. Sanjar pleaded with her to see her in. The peri attempted to come if he built a lovely structure with a viewing hole in the ceiling. He was interred thereafter he died, so the peri may view his burial until the rest of eternity.
Karakum Desert
The Karakum is a 350,000-square-kilometer sand desert that stretches from the Caspian Sea to the Pamir highlands, as well as from the Amu Darya to the Kopet Dag range. Their name means “black sands” (“kara” means black, “kum” means sand). The desert gets its bleak moniker from the fact that some areas of it were historically completely devoid of water for thousands of meters, and anybody who attempted to cross it died a horrible end under Asia’s blistering sun.
The Karakum is a rough plain with sandy dunes and ridges connected by minor marshlands and takyrs in terms of structure. The Zaunguz Karakum, which is situated on a plain, the Central Karakum, which is distributed across the lowlands, as well as the South-Eastern Karakum, which progressively develops into the Kugitangtau highlands, are the three divisions.
