Video tour to the Ulugbek Observatory, remains of a 14th-15th century sextant and the Ulugbek museum. • The largest observatory in Central Asia was built in the 1420's by Ulugbeg. Here, for three decades, scholars, including the outstanding astronomers Qazi-Zadeh Rumi, Djemsnid Giyas ad-Din Kashi and Ali Kushchi, performed measurements of celestial movements. The Samarkand observatory became famous for the edition of the Ulugbeg Zidj , containing a theoretical introduction and charts describing 1,018 stars. The observatory was found by Samarkand archeologist V. L. Vyatkin at the beginning of the 20th century. He excavated the underground remains of a huge quadrant 40 m in radius which was used for the observation of the Sun, Moon and other celestial bodies. • Ulugh Beg was one of the grandsons of the founder of the Timurid Empire Amir Temur. • #UlughbegObservatory #SamarkandTour #ZijijadidiKoragoniy #MuseumMirzoUlugbek #sextant #SamarkandObservatory • Observatory of Ulugbek, Samarkand: https://www.orexca.com/uzbekistan/sam... • One-Day Samarkand City Tour: https://www.orexca.com/uzbekistan/tou... • ============================================================= • Обсерватория Улугбека, Самарканд: https://www.orexca.com/rus/uzbekistan... • Экскурсия по Самарканду: https://www.orexca.com/rus/uzbekistan...
