TAMERLANE TOMB
 HAS BEEN OPENED

(Continued from Pago D I Leng, which meant "The Lame Timur." ffe was born in i330 ct Kesh, or shahr-1.sabE, 'srhe Green City" 50 miles Soutk cs gainarkand.
 Although he was the great-great- great-grandson of dhengis Khan, the Mongol warrior who conquered virtually oil of Asia and much of Europe, Timur's rank ct birth was merely that of son of tribal chief tain.
 At 20 he was adept enough ct manly games but was distinguished chiefly for MS pious interest in tho Koran.
 By i36s, however, he had emors- cd aS c leader of armies, and by tho time of his dnath had led his victriouS hordes from the Volga to tho Persian Gulf and from the Dar- danelleS to tho 0anges. In 1869, after Q decade of iltor- Pnosino strife, Tlmur seized kingiy power and mounted the throne ct gamarkaald.
 He embarked almost immediately upon conquest, hig campaigns taking him among the Mongols of the Gas. plan to the northwest and west and to the banks of the Urai and Volga, and through Persia to the south and southwest.
 He conquered Daghdad, Kerbeia and kurdtStan.
 In 1908 when he was more than co, Timur started out to restore order" in India where he had been told civil wars were the rule. On Sept. i2 he reached the banks of the Indts and swept on, destroying and killing. The niajor battle of the campaign was fought At Delhi where Timur won on easy victory and entered tho city In triumph.
 By April, 1899, three months after leaving his capital, he was back with the spells of conquest, including % captured elephants on waose backs he brought home stone for c iflosque ct samarkand.
 His next campaign was against tho Turks and Egyptians, during which he captured Aleppo and Damascus In Syria and went on to smash the Turks ct Asigora in i402, capturing the sultan.
 T,imur planned a final campaign to climax his career, the conquest of China. He fell Ill of fever while in camp. however, and, died Feb. l7, i40S. His body was embalmed with musk and rose water wrapped in linen, laid in ai ebony coffin and sent to samarkand for burial.
 His tomb is impressively beauti. full, surmounted by 6 graceful dome of polychrome tile and guarded by c rninaret-like column with spiral carvings.
