SHAHRISABZ, UZBEKISTAN 🇺🇿: AK SARAY PALACE

Keep in mind, this used to be TWICE its height. Distance from Bukhara is about 280 kms. Timur’s enemies in Bukhara could see this palace from there and they would ride their horses towards it, thinking they were much closer than they were…when they weren’t able to reach it, his enemies were so furious that when they finally got there one day, they destroyed it by cutting it in half. Timur used to say “Those who doubt my power and munificence should look at my buildings.” So, his enemies literally cut him down to size…
