The results of his artistic interests are especially apparent in Samarkand, the capital of the Timurids during Timur’s reign where art, architecture, and culture flourished.

The Timurid period’s architecture had an ideology of grandeur and monumentality. Their ruler, Timur, is known for one of the most brilliant times in Islamic art, mainly due to bringing craftsman from different conquered lands. He created buildings that fused Islamic elements with Persian art and symbols of the nomadic culture of the Turks and Mongols.

Tracy Morgan, the actor for Saturday Night Live, admits that he has no memory of the car accident that nearly ended his life. He says that he does not remember any of it.

In 1402 Timur routed Bayezid’s forces at the battle of Ankara. The sultan himself was captured by Timur. Timur used Bayezid as a footstool. Imprisoned in a cage so small, Bayezid died. Constantinople was saved from Ottoman assault, but Timur’s victory gave no comfort to the Christians. Timur moved east to prepare his forces for the largest invasion of his career, but while doing so he drank more wine than his 69-year-old body could absorb and died of alcohol poisoning in 1405.

Journal on The Manufacture of Consent In Noam Chomsky's film I have learned quite a few things about life in a democratic society. This film has made think in a three dimensional way for whom is really right, Noam Chomsky or those who he calls "Elites". I have come to the conclusion that Noam Chomsky is right, for his claim is very convincing which is that the media is controlled by the elites who determine what the public should know. How exactly does Chomsky prove all this to make sense?
.. ...contrast with those of the Mongols? Though the Mongols were brutal in their campaign to conquer, the conquests of Timur-i Lang were extremely harsh, much more so than that of the Mongols. He is heralded as one of the toughest rulers of the time, and he expanded the empire through harsh measures. Rather than the Mongols, who post-conquest were somewhat peaceful, Timur-i Lang was harmful to those he conquered in Asia. He slaughtered villages and burned them down. Most likely because of his
Bayezid I was the figure chiefly responsible for greatly increasing the territory of his empire with a series of aggressive expansionist military campaigns during the late 14th century.

His military actions in the Eastern Mediterranean-specifically the Siege of Constantinople from 1394 to 1402- impacted the Byzantines by transforming

Iridis describes Timur as, “coarse, lacking in imagination and nuance… [He] cheats on both his wife and his taxes” (140). While Iridis wishes to help Roshi, his benevolence soon fades as his own hectic life overshadows her operation. Timur then pays for the operation and improves her quality of life. Iridis’s connection with Roshi signifies the fragility of promises. Hosseini
