Amir Timur's Crypt, Shakhrisab

Behind the Dorus Siadat is a bunker with a wooden door lading to the crypt of Tamerlane , discovered in 1943, when a child playing football fell through the ground. The room, plain except for Karanic quotations on the arches, is nearly filled by a single stone casket. One the stone were found encryptions related to the life of Amir Timur, which is why that it is believed that the crypt was intended for him.
