A magnificent album belonging to the Baburids has been found in the Berlin Library

On one side of this magnificent album of the Babur dynasty, stored in the Berlin State Library, are gazelles, and on the other side are miniatures.

This unique 120-page find, described as a muraqqa, that is, an illustrated album, of the Mughal ruler, Jahangir (1569-1627), son of the Great Akbar, was produced in India in the 1650s and later exported to Europe. It is interesting that the ghazals of Alisher Navoi and Husayn Boykaro are written in Turkic.

"If the Mughals had considered themselves Mongols, the album would have been written in Mongolian. This means that it is necessary to revise the fact that the Baburids are called Mongols by world historians," Aysima Mirsultan, a researcher of the Central Asian branch of the Berlin State Library, said.

Although the Mughal dynasty has a history of more than three hundred years, it has never forgotten its ancestors, nationality, and language. The court may have spoken Persian, Hindi, or another language, but the main, most serious issues were resolved in the Turkic language, and many Turkic manuscripts were copied. It was reported that 25 of these albums are stored in the Berlin State Library in Germany, while the remaining 100 are in the United Kingdom, the United States, the Czech Republic and Iran.
