From Mevlana Museum & Mosque & Tomb in Konya

An image from the time when the 2,000-year-old tombs and monumental statues built by King Antiochus I of Commagene on the 2,150-meter-high Mount Nemrut to show his gratitude to the gods and his ancestors were first built. Mount Nemrut or Nemrud is a 2,134-metre-high (7,001 ft) mountain in southeastern Turkey, notable for the summit where a number of large statues are erected around what is assumed to be a royal tomb from the 1st century BC. It is one of the highest peaks in the east of the Taurus Mountains.

The Tomb of Jahangir:

Nur-ud-din Muhammad Salim ‘Jahangir’ (31 August 1569 – 28 October 1627); ruled from 1605 until his death in 1627. He was the only great Mughal who is not buried in India apart from the founder of Mughal Empire Babur, buried in Kabul.

The emperor was ill, it was suggested by the Royal physicians that to recover from ill health he should visit Kabul and Kashmir. Due to cold weather in Kashmir he decided to move to Lahore. On the way to Lahore he died in the foothills of Kashmir near the town of Rajauri on 28 October 1627. A funeral procession transferred his body from Kashmir and arrived in Lahore on Friday, 12 November 1627. The Dilkusha Garden in which he was buried was a "favourite spot" of Jahangir and his wife Nur Jahan, when they lived in Lahore. His son, the new Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, ordered that a "mausoleum befitting an Emperor" should be built in his father's honour to inter his remains.

His tomb is one of the magnificent example of Mughal art and architecture. There is some controversy who supervised the design, wife of the Emperor Nur Jahan or the son Shah Jahan. Both had very good eye on architectural design. Beautiful precious and semi-precious stones were used to beautify the grave with the ninety nine attributes of Allah are also engraved here.

The tomb suffered a great deal of destruction at the hand of Maharajah Ranjeet Singh who stripped the ornaments off the tomb and sent them to Amritsar in order to decorate a Sikh temple. The tomb was also used as the residence of a Sikh army officer of Spanish origin and Sultan Muhammad Khan, brother of Dost Muhammad khan of Kabul, caused great damage to the mausoleum.

The Bird House of Sultan Mustafa III's Tomb stands out with its symmetrical form, arched window openings, and exquisite stone craftsmanship.

Bird houses in historical buildings emerge as one of the most delicate reflections of stone craftsmanship. They adorn the external walls of mosques, palaces, tombs, madrasahs, inns, and baths, almost as miniature masterpieces of art.

These architectural marvels are designed as living spaces, particularly for birds like sparrows, doves, finches, and swallows, offering them shelter and protection from the cold. Each bird house reflects the Ottoman Empire's appreciation for art and aesthetics in its intricate details and design. Depending on their size and intricacy, they are referred to as "bird palaces", "bird mansions", or "bird houses".
