Chashmai- Ayub .

 Hello dears 🤗

How are you? I'm very glad I see you. Today the 4th day of our practice took place. Today's practice was planned at the Chashmayi-Ayub mausoleum at 10 o'clock. Because of the destination's far some of our course-mates were late. So was I . But they were waiting us . First of all our teacher Inobat Zoirovna inspected our diaries and we began our practice. 

Now I'm going to give information about this place 

    • Chashma-Ayub Mausoleum is in the middle of the small ancient cemetery. The construction has reached with some losses to present day. The preserved parts represent a combination of harmonious entrance portal and adjoining to it the rests of the fencing wall from the west.

The constructive scheme of the portal is a traditional and made up in the form of two pylons, forming the niche overlapped by the semi vault. The II-shaped frame inside of which forms the obverse surface, tympanum and ktoba are concluded with an inscription above the lancet arch. From the northern part of the niche portal is limited gable wall with a doorway. From the western end face the portal is adjoined with the deep bricked wall in the extent of 5,9 m, which the western piece has been lost. The wall has the form of the trapeze in section with big size in the basis. The central room is overlapped by the tent peaked dome.    Except for the made proportions this monument differs well considered and perfectly executed décor, which basic part is concentrated to the portal. The most effective place in the general composition of the decor is ktoba, filled with Arabian inscription on the background of the vegetative ornament. The portal frame on the external contour is marked out by the II-shaped zone strengthened by girikh from intertwining octahedrons, made of terracotta bricks. 

According to ancient legends that for centuries live on the land of magical Bukhara, the Chashma-Ayub well, above which the mausoleum was later built, appeared by the will of Saint Job long before the birth of Christ. Traveling across Bukhara, he heard the prayers of local residents who were tormented by thirst, struck his staff on the ground scorched by the sun, and a well with cold and crystal clear water immediately appeared in it, near which travelers could have a rest during many subsequent centuries. People called their savior in Arabic manner — Ayub.

Travelers from different countries who come to this holy place, where, as people say, the innermost dreams come true, are taken by a guide to the distant past, in those days when the inhabitants of this land warmed by the hot sun had been creating a water supply system and inventing various ways to preserve purity and freshness of water, looking for a method to transport the life giving liquid to their homes.

The guests of the Water Museum spend a lot of time looking at the exhibits from the old days. Among the most interesting things there are water pipes used in the 18th and 19th centuries, copper tanks and leather water bags, a model of the Sardoba reservoir — a hydrotechnical architectural structure consisting of a pool with a stone vault that had been used to store the life giving liquid in ancient Bukhara.

 

Also we saw many tourists there and took photo them . There were a lot of foreigners from diverse countries. So well today we found out some information about the Chashmayi-Ayub mausoleum. It was amazing and historical place. 

Good bye till next practice 👋🏻☺️.
