Then, the Khan of Khiva to learn, ordered that they thrown to the master from atop the wall to medium build. Whatever it is, the gigantic minarate Kaltaminar was acefalo.Its height does not pass 26 meters, but judging by their powerful you seed, wanted it to be the Elder of elders. The restoration of the seminar absorbed more than one million rubles. The work was particularly difficult for potters. Famous enamel of the monuments of the ancient oriental architecture had been much damaged over time, and the secrets of the masters veterans disappeared also. Why we had to discover them again.
At first we didn’t know what to do – I explained the restorative ceramist Rustam Tajirov. We could not the proper color and the black lines are diluian in tile. We tired of both failing. We rehearse all kinds of clay. Grain to grain we were restoring the lost recipes. We had to guess. The old masters up told us that in ancient times human blood was added to the paint. I don’t know if it would be true.
In those distant times human life was worth nothing. As you can see, we have succeeded in making the tiles, but regarding color look yourself! (noted me the portal of the seminar and in his eyes for a moment I thought it was see logical pride for his masterpiece). The work of restoration of the seminar long ago that were completed and now in the works a hotel for tourists. Imposing at the time any inhabitant of Khiva will feature them the life of Pahlavan Mahmud (the titan Mahmud) with many details and greater amenity of what appears in the books. In part, the originality of the story depends on the fantasy of the Narrator. The mausoleum of Pahlavan Mahmud is one of the buildings most beautiful of Ichan Kala.
