Special atmosphere in the main Zindan of Bukhara.

Today I visited to the main Zindan of Bukhara during my practical lessons. I haven't visited there since today. 
This one of the most enigmatic monuments of Bukhara was built in the 18th century. The prison was built in the nortwest corner of Shahriston and consisted of several chambers of debt, the cooler and dungeon, laid of brick with a diameter of about 5 meters and a depth of 6.5 meter.


The Zindan was full of mysteries and the atmosphere was special, I have never seen it before.  There were stamps of judges. They were related to late 18th- early 19th centuries and were written in Arabic language.

Another thing which I was interested most is order of emirs. They were also written in Arabic language. With my friend, Dildora, I watched them, there were also pictures which shows criminals in Zindan.

The most terrible thing was hobbles. There were for arms, for legs and for necks. While I was watching them, I thought about the criminals, that is, they couldn't avoid from the  Zindan and may be it was impossible to just move for them.


There was also a deep pit which was for criminals who opposed to the emirs. 
The pit was called "kanakhona". The terrible fate was prepared for them- a deep pit full of scorpions and poisonous beetles. In such conditions, they could stay alive for about 3 days. Most of them died there. I watched there with disgusting.

My second day of practice was memorable and full of new knowledges. I learnt new things about  history of my hometown. I saw a new  historical place, Zindan. While I was there, I felt myself in the past. Alhamdulillah such a great day...!💕

Together we explored the history of Ark, its design, its structure and its layout. Ark was built in 5th century, BC by Siyawush. The Ark is built on the remains of the earlier structures, which constitute a layer twenty meters deep under the base arch, the layers indicating that previous fortresses had been built and destroyed on the site. Our travel was full of adventures, that we walked around the Ark and entered museums and got information about our history. My groupmates shared their knowledge about this fortress, about the Khan's Palace, the rules also. I watched every single thing with full of interest. One of the most interesting was kalimb-stamp.

Trip to " the Museum of Fine Arts of Bukhara" Today, my adventure took place in the Museum of Arts of Bukhara. The Museum of Fine Arts of Bukhara was founded in 1982 by the initiative of the first secretary of the Central Committee of the Uzbek SSR, Sharof Rashidov.  In the specially renovated building, 3 independent departments of the Bukhara State Museum-Reserve have been established, the first is the department of the Bukhara Museum of Fine Arts, the second is the Scientific Center of Historical Manuscripts, and the third is the Photo and Document Fund. The Museum was full of unique paintings. While I watching them, I noticed that they are related to ordinary life of people. That's why they look alive. While watching them, I saw the way of life of people in ancient times, I felt the atmosphere of that time. The paintings were so beautiful and watching the paintings is  enjoyable..! I watched every painting with more interest and my group mates tried to describe some of...
