Timurid Empire

The Timurid Empire, founded by the conqueror Tamerlane in the late 14th century, was a major Central Asian empire that stretched across Persia, parts of the Middle East, and Central Asia. Known for its cultural and artistic achievements, it fostered a renaissance in Persian art, architecture, and learning. Tamerlane's military campaigns were fierce, but his empire also became a center for scholars and artists. Though short-lived after Tamerlane's death, the Timurid influence shaped later Persian and Central Asian cultures, blending military prowess with rich artistic and intellectual pursuits.
