In Pakistan, imposing tombs that few have seen BBC](http://www.bbc.com/travel/feature/20140730-in-pakistan-imposing-tombs-that-few-have-seen/1)

“Covering more than 10sqkm, Makli is one of the world’s largest necropolises, acting as the final resting place of more than half a million people, including kings, queens, saints and scholars. And even though the 14th-century site was inscribed as a Unesco World Heritage Site in 1981 – one of just six in Pakistan – its imposing tombs and intricate artwork are little known to travellers today.”

Re: Historical Places of the Subcontinent

I have been there many times - first visit in my childhood in 1975!

Re: Historical Places of the Subcontinent

Recently, people were introduced to this historical site, when Qaim Ali Shah was appointed as CM Sindh. :smiley:

Re: Historical Places of the Subcontinent

Re: Historical Places of the Subcontinent

There is some mistake.

Re: Historical Places of the Subcontinent

Uncle Wikipedia says so… :stuck_out_tongue:

Samma Dynasty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Re: Historical Places of the Subcontinent

It says:

The Samma Dynasty (Sindhi: سمن جو راڄ, Urdu: سلسله سماں‎) ruled in Sindh and parts of Punjab and Balochistan from 1335–1520 AD, with their capital at Thatta in modern Pakistan before being replaced by the Arghun Dynasty.

Were Kabul and Ghazni part of Punjab? :hmmm:

Re: Historical Places of the Subcontinent

Thats not true , during 1335-1521 Afghanistan was under timurids. Samma itself was under tuqlaq dynasty.

](http://www.dawn.com/news/1125480)
“Ranigat, belonging to the period of first-sixth century AD and protected under the Antiquities Act 1975, has been a celebrated part of folklore – songs and stories of which still echo from the coffee-hued ruins in Totalai in the Buner District of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan… This area used to be a fairy-land for foreigners and many, including Japanese, came here for studies in the ancient times to learn Buddhism.”

Shahjahan Mosque: Thatta’s timeless splendour – Dawn](Shahjahan Mosque: Thatta's timeless splendour - Multimedia - DAWN.COM)

“It was a beautiful evening when I arrived; silent, with the sun about to set, birds wandering in the sky, and the presence of just a few visitors. The carpeted road and the greenery around reminded me of the song “Dharti sunheri ambar neela”. I was in Thatta’s Shahjahan Mosque, an enormous, beautiful structure which bespeaks the glory of its era.”
