1405 Asiatic Conqueror Lenk Ruler Spelt Tamerlane Timur Turkic Variously Tamburlaine
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts Timur Lenk, also known as Tamerlane or Tamburlaine, the legendary Asiatic ruler who conquered most of Central Asia in the early 15th century. Born in 1336 in Transoxania (present-day Uzbekistan), Timur rose to power through a series of military campaigns that expanded his empire from the Caspian Sea in the west to the Gansu Corridor in the east, making him one of the most influential figures in Central Asian history. Timur's military prowess was legendary, and his armies were known for their brutal tactics and devastating conquests. He is said to have ordered the destruction of entire cities that resisted his rule, such as Samarkand and Bukhara, which he later rebuilt as centers of culture and learning. Timur's reign marked the height of the Timurid Empire, which lasted from 1370 to 1507. This historical print, produced by Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the majesty and power of Timur Lenk. He is depicted here in regal attire, seated on a throne, with a stern expression and a commanding presence. The intricate details of his clothing, the ornate decorations on the throne, and the rich colors of the image all serve to emphasize the grandeur and opulence of Timur's court. Timur Lenk's legacy continues to be felt in Central Asia today, with many cities and landmarks bearing his name. His conquests and building projects helped to spread Islamic culture throughout the region, and his military tactics and administrative systems continue to be studied by historians and military strategists. This image serves as a powerful reminder of Timur's enduring influence on Asian history and his status as one of the greatest conquerors of all time.
