Timurid dynasty

The Timurid dynasty was a Persianate empire founded by the conqueror Tamerlane (Timur) in the late 14th century. It spanned Central Asia, Iran, and parts of the Middle East, known for its cultural flourishing and impressive architecture. Timur's leadership unified diverse regions through military strength and promoted arts, science, and scholarship, leading to a renaissance in Persian culture. Although the dynasty declined after Timur's death in 1405, its influence persisted, shaping the political and cultural landscape of the Islamic world for generations. The Timurids are remembered for their contributions to art, architecture, and governance.
