The Juma Mosque in Khiva, has a ceiling supported by 213 carved pillars ,14 05 2024 Khwarazm Region

The mosques and old legendary Islamic schools of Uzbekistan, today many are museums. These buildings have magnificent architectural works specific to the Central Asian area. They can be visited by tourists in the ancient cities of Samarkand, Bukhara, and Khiva. They are just some of the examples associated with the Silk Road that passes through Uzbekistan, as there are many other larger or smaller localities that have historical potential. The ancient city of Khiva is also called the city of learning, because there are many schools of ancient Islamic culture here. All these buildings have splendid decorations, with carved or ceramic motifs, each of which has a meaning. The mosque was rebuilt in 1788, the information was found in some documents from the 10th century. The columns supporting the dome are all carved, but each one has a different design, they are not alike. There are also inscriptions in Arabic on each one. The Juma Mosque is a building among the main monuments of Itchan Kala, the walled city inside the city of Khiva. It is in the World Heritage site. The supporting pillars are from different centuries, arranged in 17 rows, at equal distances. I have seen this kind of mosque before in a village in Libya, in 2007 I was working at Akakus Oil Operation. Our guide from Uzbekistan, she is a young lady, very energetic, and well trained in her job. The guide lady spoke Turkish very well, and in our group of Romanian tourists, we had five ethnic Tatars from the city of Constanța, in Romania, three of whom spoke Turkish well. I would like to thank the Yusuf family, Mrs. Yusuf Nurgian, Mr. Yusuf Temușin, Mrs. Aitem Ismail, Mr. Curtnazar Şenbol, for translation into Romanian. This is how I had the chance to understand part of the history of the legendary Silk Road. Here in this movie the guide lady tells us some words in Uzbek language, I hope the translation is good, made by the TH-cam channel, not by me.
I invite you to subscribe to this TH-cam channel, to promote peace, friendship and harmony between people on planet Earth. All my films have translations in several international languages, you can find them in the film settings. This is my desire, respect for multi-ethnic civilizations combined with the research and development of the three great universal scientific categories, physical sciences, life science, and social science. Promotion and implementation of universal liberal ideas, world interethnic harmony. I want to leave a legacy, films made in these years, to future generations. I hope that educated, responsible young people will change societies into a participatory democracy. We are already entering a new era of economic progress, and religious freedom. Peoples are moving forward, moment by moment, right now. Let them live together, without politically imposed borders or devastating wars. World history helps us understand past civilizations, the evolution of societies. We can learn a lot, to solve the current problems of the globe. I wish you and your families health, peace and happiness. My goal is to promote peace and friendship, to help each other, to no longer have borders imposed by politicians, who use wars as a form of oppression, of other peoples. We are in the year 2024, a decisive year for the future of the peoples of the world. Science and technology advance daily. I hope that this development will come to the aid of people, make their lives, and daily living easier, to eradicate the diseases that millions of people suffer from today. Let there be peace in the world. The Most Reverend Ignatie Bishop, of the Orthodox Bishopric of Hușilor, from Vaslui county-Romania, recalled an old Romanian proverb, about the passing of people into non-being, into non-existence, even if they are rich or poor, or leaders of nations, the following. "We know this very well, the expression even entered the popular language; four planks in a nail, this is man's fortune". In the message of the Islamic religion, which the Koran, the holy book of Muslims, conveys to us, there is a passage about the status of mankind in the Universe, in which Allah the Most High says: "We honored the sons of Adam and carried them on land and sea and We gave them as food various good things, and We chose them before many others of those whom We created." [Quran, 17:70] Discover the good deeds of the peoples of the whole world. Discover the secular and religious moral values of humanity.
- Do not neglect education, follow the courses of a school, because only the teacher, and the education from the book, will always light the path of your life, without having the knowledge to read and assimilate what is written in the books, you will never have light, even if the sun is shining outside. quoted by Yuri Vasilića Blioju from Barlad-
