🔴The astonishing contents of the museum of the Center of Islamic Civilization in Uzbekistan

🔴From ancient manuscripts to artificial intelligence: an unexpected journey through the wonders of the museum

The Center of Islamic Civilization in Uzbekistan is not only a place that recalls history but also a sanctuary of enlightenment that revives the scientific and cultural heritage of our great ancestors through modern technologies.

Every visitor to the Center witnesses numerous fascinating presentations. From the pre-Islamic period to today’s New Uzbekistan, scientific, educational, and analytical information is showcased with innovative approaches. In particular, visitors have the opportunity to feel the spirit of the Second Renaissance, the era of the Timurid dynasty. This dynasty left an indelible mark not only in governance but also as patrons of science and enlightenment.

The scholar who brought the stars to earth

One of the brightest figures in the Second Renaissance Timurid section of the museum is Mirzo Ulugh Beg. In history, he earned great fame not only as a ruler but also as a distinguished astronomer. The observations conducted at his Samarkand observatory served as a guide for European science for centuries. Through 3D simulations at the museum, visitors can clearly see the precision with which Ulugh Beg calculated the movement of the stars.

A patron of science and literature

Ulugh Beg’s father, Shahrukh Mirzo, turned Herat into a center of science and literature. Through the museum’s exhibitions, visitors can embark on a virtual journey to explore the madrasas, libraries, and scholarly environment of that era.

The founder of the manuscript treasury

Boysungur Mirzo, who established the largest library in Herat, was a prince who deeply valued mathematics, calligraphy, and the arts. The museum showcases artifacts related to him, especially the famous copy of the Shahnameh, presented as a unique example of manuscript culture.

A patron of culture

Abulqasim Babur, who ruled in Herat, supported scholars and creators, contributing to the development of the intellectual environment. His activities are highlighted in special exhibitions at the Center.

The encyclopedist of nature and history

The great Timurid representative Babur not only established the Mughal Empire in India but also authored the Baburnama, a work encompassing history, geography, botany, and ethnography. At the museum, his observations describing nature and human life are presented interactively, allowing visitors to experience his encyclopedic legacy.

Conclusion

At the museum of the Center of Islamic Civilization, the contributions of Timurid princes to science and enlightenment are presented through modern technologies, digital exhibitions, and artificial intelligence. Ulugh Beg’s astronomical calculations, Shahrukh and Boysungur’s devotion to libraries and literature, and Babur’s Baburnama all these represent not only history but also an invaluable source of enlightenment for today’s generation.
