Sheykh Babi Yagub Mausoleum
Sheykh Babi Yagub Mausoleum ( az, Şeyx Babı türbəsi) is a mausoleum in Babi village in the Fuzuli District of the disputed Karabakh region internationally recognized as a part of Azerbaijan. The mausoleum was built in 1272. It was heavily damaged by the Armenian Armed Forces on 29 September 2020, during the clashes with Azerbaijan. Investigations A.I.Brozgul wrongly dated a complex to the 12th century and I.P.Sheblykin mistakenly called the mausoleum “Shah Babali”. A kufi ligature on the mausoleum drew N.V.Khanikov's attention in the middle of the 19th century and he called the village “Babili” in his work and “Bab” in an album. But the ligature was written by Khanikov with mistakes and omissions. Later this ligature was fully decoded and included in the I volume of a publication of Arabic-Persian-Azerbaijani language inscriptions of Azerbaijan. In the summer of 2011, archaeological excavations of the mausoleum began by the order of the Ministry of Culture and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
