ANTIQUE RUG 4 X 7 COLLECTORS PIECE RARE DESIGN WOOL FOUNDATION The short-lived Gurkani Dynasty (the dynasty of Tamerlane and his successors, from Turk. Gurkan : "son-in-law")) was the most significant chapter of the history of the Greater Iran in the post-Mongol era. Following the downfall of the Il-Khanid Mongols and their various residues around Iran, the former Mongol territories were left in a state of chaos. Some areas, such as Kurdistan and Fars, were ruled by dynasties (Jalayerids in this case) that could claim some nominal control over their territories. The norm, however, was to have individual local dynasties who seldom ruled over anything more than a town or city. It was in this environment, and in fact in one of the most divided of the former Mongol lands in Central Asia, that Tamerlane (Teymour, Timour) gained power. Although the rule of Teymour himself was spent mostly on conquests and battles, his successors managed to leave various monuments from themselves. The arts and science produced during the Gurkanid Period was rich enough to support the legitimacy of this dynasty which under any other circumstances could have been dismissed as footnote in history. The Gurkani legacy not only left an important footprint in the history of Iran, but it also provided much material for the creation of a magnificent dynasty in India (the Moghuls) and today even manages to fuel the nationalistic feelings of Uzbekistan, where Teymour is considered the national hero.
