Tamerlane was a patron of the arts. is liking for geometry expressed itself in building pyramids of skulls in places he conquered; reputedly 70,000 in Isfahan, for example. He killed about one twentieth of the world's population at the time, but hey, his mausoleum is to die for.

Speaking of dying, I can now add the Tashkent two sluice to the Samarkand samba. Death was preferable. I'm back at Faletti's now, though, after a dreadful exit at Tashkent airport. Massive queues for Customs, then lesser ones for immigration and security. Not the best combination, but inshallah I'll be back in Darwin soon.
