Port Arthur town of Knights of Round Table
Шрифт:
the town became the seat of a
Christian archbishopric of the Eastern Church
under the rule of the Kartids,
vassals of the Ilkhanids.
By 1380
Merv
belonged to the empire of Timur
(Tamerlane).
Uzbeks in Merv and its final destruction
In 1505
the Uzbeks occupied
Merv;
five years later Shah Ismail, the founder of the Safavid dynasty of Persia, expelled them.
In this period a Persian nobleman restored a large dam (the 'Soltanbent') on the river Murghab, and the settlement which grew up in the area thus irrigated became known as "Ba'yramaly", as referenced in some 19th-century texts.
Merv
remained in the hands of Persia
(except for periods of Uzbek rule between 1524 and 1528 and again between 1588 and 1598) until 1785, when Shah Murad, the Emir of Bokhara, captured the city.
A few years later,
in 1788 and 1789,
the Bukharan Manghit king,
Shah Murad Beg
razed the city to the ground,
broke down the dams,
and converted the district into a waste.
The entire population of the city and the surrounding oasis of
about 100,000
were then
deported in several stages to the Bukharan oasis and Samarkand region in the Zarafshan Valley.
Being nearly all Azerbaijani Turkish-speaking Shi'as from the Izzeddinlu branch of Qajar tribe, the deportees resisted assimilation into the Sunni population of Bukhara, despite the common language they spoke with most Bukharan natives.
These Marvis survive as of
2016 -
Soviet censuses listed them as
"Iranis/Iranians" through the 1980s.
They live in Samarkand as well as in Bukhara and in the area in between on the Zarafshan river.

Merv
is currently the focus of
the Ancient Merv Project
(initially as
the International Merv Project).
From 1992 to 2000, a joint team of archaeologists from Turkmenistan and the UK have made remarkable discoveries.
In 2001, a new collaboration was started between the Institute of Archaeology, University College London and the Turkmen authorities.

"Ancient Merv Archaeological Park"

village of
Ba'yramaly (Ba'yramaly)

city of

But as this was just my fantazy ideas about a possible versa of possible linguistic links between the ancient town Merv and name Merlin, Wizard Mervin in island England, a popular hero in legends about King Arthur,
I do not know the truth here, how this was, some others, probably, the some.

We will look popular versa about this all:
on Russian
"Мерлин"
https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Мерлин
from Wikipedia
"Мерлин
(англ. Merlin,
валл. Myrddin,
валл. Myrddin Emrys,
валл.
Ann ap Lleian,
Annvab y llaian) -
мудрец и волшебник кельтских мифов,
наставник и советник короля Артура,
а также ранее его отца Утера и короля Вортигерна.
Кроме того, имя Мерлина встречается как эпитет в средневековой кельтской поэзии бардов.
Имя Мерлина связано с валл. Myrddin.
Валлийское имя возникло, вероятно, в связи с неправильной интерпретацией названия
города
Кармартен:
валл. Caerfyrddin.
Это название происходит от бриттского *
Mori-dunon
'морская крепость',
однако было позже понято как
Caer-Myrddin
(переход m в f (читается [v])
отвечает правилам валлийской грамматики),
то есть
"крепость Мирдина".
Латинский вариант
Merlinus
(римское название одной из соколиных пород)
появляется у
Гальфрида Монмутского.
Мерлин является повелителем зверей, и может принимать облик любого из лесных животных. Живущий в лесу отшельник в кельтских легендах отождествляется с богом Цернунном - покровителем леса, животных и волшебства.
