Ulugbek was probably more famous as an astronomer then a ruler. About 1 km beyond the Afrosiab museum are the remains of a 30 meter tall sextant he built for observing star positions. All that’s left is a huge, curved track, unearthed in 1908. Next door is a little museum about Uzbek astronomers and about theopening of Timur’s grave; its open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily. Transport is the same as for the Afrasiab. | |
