Travel on archaeological monuments of Dashoguz Region.

Nearby, only in 15 meters from the well-known mausoleum of Nadzhmeddin al-Kubra (XIVth century), in the territory of the extensive cemetery called in the people of "Uch yuz altmysh" ("Three hundred sixty") the small ancient mausoleum is located.
After creation in Kunya-Urgench of the National historical and cultural park the mausoleum was reconstructed. Restorers and designers from National administration of protection, restoration and studying of historical and cultural monuments of Turkmenistan had to sort the construction staying in a catastrophic state and to build it anew, strictly observing all parameters and proportions of the original.
Mazar low - is slightly more than five meters, the portal - typical of Khorez peshtak, turned on the East - has a superficial niche before an entrance, with three simple P-shaped frames. Modest internal room (gurkhana). In it four gravestones under which there are no burials are arranged.
These are only nishana - the signs indicating purpose of a construction. However during reconstruction under these plates 4 funeral cameras with group burials were found. To whom they belong - a riddle as crypts are arranged on more ancient occupation layers.
In the legends which are carefully stored and transferred from generation to generation people connect this mausoleum with a name of Piryara Vali, father of the master of national fight and the talented poet Pakhlavan Mahmoud Kitali (Pakhlavan-at) glorified to all Khorezm.
He was born on the way on the way from Urgench to Khiva. Later the family came back, however whether Piryar Vali came back home on "the homeland of ancestors" it is unknown because burial whose name called the mausoleum, is not found.
Near the mausoleum archeological excavations revealed a big crypt with two gravestones from a burned brick revetted with glazed tiles of extraordinary beauty. On one of gravestones several tiles with the identical image perfectly remained.
Eight beams a star in which center, in flower registration the flying bird bearing an uncertain round subject in a beak is placed. On local national beliefs, it is the prophetic bird of Simurg uplifting soul of the dead to paradise.
