The Sheila Variations "This race and this country and this life produced me, he said. I shall express myself as I am." James Joyce, Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man Main November 06, 2004 Ulugh Beg Tutorial I'm no expert, but Ulugh Beg came up here yesterday. Please dont' ask how. Ulugh Beg was an astronomer and mathematician, grandson of warrior Tamerlane. Ulugh Beg lived in what is now Uzbekistan in the 15th century. Here's what I know: Apparently, when Tamerlane died, his empire was fought over by his sons. Ulugh Beg had been very close to his grandfather, and Beg (only 16 years old at the time) was put in charge of Samarqand following the death of Tamerlane (I believe Ulugh Beg was at his side when he died. I could be making that up, though). Ulugh Beg was only 16 years old when he became the leader of the great medieval oasis town - but instead of focusing on world conquest, or tribal slaughter, or trying to fill the shoes of his despotic grandfather, Ulugh Beg set out to transform Samarqand into a scientific and cultural center. He sounds like an extraordinary man. He believed in sharing information - and so he built observatories - one major one in paritcular (the ruins of which still stand today). The Ulugh Beg Observatory was enormous - and cylindrical in shape. There was a massive marble sextant (discovered centuries later during an archaeological dig, I think) - that somehow was too large to fit and had to be dug into the ground or something. Sorry - not sure about that. The observatory was tall enough to be seen from miles away, and the sight of it would let the camel-trains on the Silk Road know that they were close to Samarqand. The "observatory" was as famous, in its day, as the Eiffel Tower is now. Like, even if you have never seen the Eiffel Tower in actuality, you know the shape of it - you would recognize it if you saw it. The Ulugh Beg Observatory was like that.

Day 13 - Thursday, 4 May 2000 Samarkand Today we visited the observatory of Ulugh Beg. We were not aware of it at the time but we had eaten lunch near the observatory on our way to Bukhara last Sunday ( Day 9 The layers of history were spread before us again; in the 4th century, Alexander the Great conquered, in the 6th century the Turks ruled, and in 712 AD the Arab conquerors came. They brought a new language (Arabic) and a new religion (Islam) and with it a new culture. At this time in the city were people of many religions, including Zoroastrianism, Judaism, Christianity, Hinduism and Buddhism, and the Islamic nation was added to this mix. In 1054, Omar Khayam came to Samarkand and wrote of "bushes cut as animals, water running, and naked women diving under willows." He also encountered astonishing and impressive hospitality in the beautiful city. It was in the 12th century that Ghengis Khan destroyed all this civilization and the city itself. In the 15th century Timur, born in Shahrisabz, rose to power and created an empire that reached from the shores of the Mediterranean (and included Israel) to the Asian land of China. This empire was a nurturing environment for scientists, philosphers and scholars.

Its economy, which has regressed like that of all ex soviet countries since 1991, has not been privatized much but it is showing signs of improvement thanks to foreign investment in new industries.

A good place for apricot orchards such as this one. Fergana valley Greek, Persian and Chinese envoys came here as early as two centuries BC to trade with the prosperous kingdoms they found here. The Arabs came in the 8th century and converted the Buddhist turkic population to Islam. The Russians took the valley in the late 19th century along with the rest of Central Asia and introduced the intensive cultivation of cotton seen here. The communists went one step further and used the waters of the Amu Darya and Syr Darya rivers to irrigate vast tracts of desert to grow cotton. They drew so much from these rivers that the volume of the Aral sea fell by 75% and its area by 50%. An ecological catastrophe!

En 1424 construyó en Samarkand, madrasa, una institución de enseñanza de la astronomía. Posteriormente en 1428, Ulugh Beg comenzó la construcción de un magnifico observatorio en la misma ciudad y nombró a Ali-Kudsi como director del mismo. El observatorio estaba equipado con los mejores instrumentos de la época que incluía un sextante Fakhri hecho de mármol, el cual se utilizaba para calcular la inclinación de la eclíptica sobre el ecuador, el punto de equinoccio vernal, la duración del año tropical, y otras constantes astronómicas medidas por observación solar. El observatorio también incluía un cuadrante y una esfera Armilar. En 1437 publicó su trabajo mas famosos un catálogo de 992 estrellas llamado 'Zidj-i Djadid Sultani.' En el se revisaron las posiciones y magnitudes de las estrellas observadas por Ptolomeo , encontrando muchos errores en los cálculos de este autor.

Gunn The Registan The Registan, which the 19th-century British traveler George Curzon called "the noblest public square in the world," is the main square of the old city, and the most spectacular architectural complex still standing in Central Asia. From this huge square in the heart of the city, which was planned by Timur as a grand covered bazaar, six main roads led out to six city gates, and thence to the rest of the known world: China, India, Russia, and Persia and the Mediterranean. In an urban renewal project as callous as any in the 20th century, Timur razed the houses and shops along the new right-of-way, evicting residents without notice and sending them scurrying with whatever of their possessions they could carry. According to Clavijo, the main road was constructed in 20 days. In the Registan: The madrassah of Ulugh Beg Photo Credit: Daniel C. Waugh

Waugh The two great archaeological sites of Samarkand are Ulugh Beg's astronomical observatory and the site of Afrasiab, the original Maracanda, the city that was permanently destroyed by Genghis Khan. Ulugh Beg's Observatory Two hundred years before Kepler, 150 before Tycho Brahe, Ulugh Beg compiled star tables more accurate than the West would know until the 16th century. He re-observed and corrected Ptolemy's star positions. That his work was not more widely known to Western astronomers was unfortunate. Ironically, his Catalog of Stars was discovered by a scholar in 1648, in Oxford's Bodelian Library. Even at that late date, it contained some information that was new and useful to the West and an English translation was published in 1917. Successful in his quest for knowledge, Ulugh Beg was ultimately unsuccessful as a ruler and a politician. Religious conservatives distrusted him, and he was assassinated in 1449 by his own son. Soon after death, his observatory was so thoroughly destroyed by religious conservatives that there was no trace left above ground, and its location was a mystery for centuries. In 1908 an amateur archaeologist, Vladimir Vyatkin, determined its likely location from searching ancient manuscripts and unearthed the sextant on Kukhak Hill, northeast of Afrasiab.

Short Fiction Short Fiction With the pounding bass of "Paninero," Ulugh Beg glided though the club, effortlessly parting the crowd. More than a few of the dancers were openly admiring of his exotic looks which was intriguingly complemented by his Victorian dress. Crossing the floor to a dark, secluded table, Ulugh's piercing gaze detected the hideously warped Nosferatu lurking in the shadows. At last. After much searching, another piece of lore was about to be reclaimed for his master. The Nosferatu licked what remained of its lips with its long, scabarous tongue. Its right eye lolled horrifically in its socket, a sight so grotesque that it would have caused a lesser being to flinch. "Do you have the text," Ulugh queried? Reaching slowly toward a pocket, the Nosferatu hissed in the affirmative. "However, first, my price...I require information on the Council of Seven."
