Tashkent, capital of Uzbekistan

Amir Temur painting

A large wall painting depicting Amir Temur (Timur, Tamerlane) in the Uzbek Museum, the State museum of history of Uzbekistan. He was the outstanding commander and statesman of the 14th century who managed to found a centralised united state composed of 27 countries, from the Mediterranean Sea to India. Timur was known for his extreme brutality and his conquests were accompanied by genocidal massacres in the cities he occupied; but now he is Uzbekistan's National hero.
