Timurid dynasty

The **Timurid dynasty** () or the **Timurids**, who called themselves _Gurkānī_ <span dir="ltr"></span> (), were a Central Asian Sunni Muslim dynasty of Turco-Mongol lineage that rose to power in the late 14th century. Founded by Timur (Tamerlane), the dynasty ruled a vast empire across Iran, Transoxiana, Afghanistan, and parts of the Middle East.

Although of Turco-Mongol origin, the Timurids became heavily Persianized. The Persian language was the official and administrative language of the state, and Persian culture shaped the dynasty’s court, literature, architecture, and identity. Cities like Samarkand and Herat became major centers of Islamic art and learning, attracting poets, scientists, and architects. The dynasty’s rulers, especially Shahrukh Mirza and Sultan Husayn Bayqara, were known for their patronage of Persianate culture and for fostering a synthesis of nomadic and sedentary traditions.

The Timurids established two major imperial legacies. The first was the Timurid Empire in Iran and Central Asia, which flourished in the 15th century. The second was the Mughal Empire in the Indian subcontinent, founded by Babur, a direct descendant of Timur. The Mughal dynasty continued many Timurid cultural and political traditions, making the Timurids one of the most influential dynasties in the Islamic world.

The Greeks themselves derived the name from an eponymous persian King Erythras, knowing that the waters so described were deep blue. Modern scholars sometimes attribute the name to the seasonal blooms of the red-hued _Trichodesmium erythraeum_ in the Red Sea. Documents on the Persian Gulf's name describes a story from the  Agatharchides, author of On the Erythraean Sea page 113 saying the Erythrae was son of Myozai a Persian lord which forced  to go to an island because of the attack  by the lions to his cattle ,then  he invited other people to settle in this island, most probably today Qeshm Island or Hormuz Island then  it became lucky island and the name of the Erythraean Sea is related to him.

## Use

The name "Erythraean Sea" has been or is still used for the following places:
- In the opening sentences of Herodotus' history, written in the 5th century BC, he refers to the Phoenicians having come originally from the Erythraean Sea.
- In the _Periplus of the Erythraean Sea_, written in the 1st century AD, as well as in some ancient maps, the name of the sea refers to the whole area of the northwestern Indian Ocean, including the Arabian Sea.
- In centuries past, the name "Erythraean Sea" was applied by cartographers to the NW part of the Indian Ocean, mainly the area around Socotra, between Cape Guardafui and the coast of Hadhramaut.
- The name "Erythraean Sea" was used as well to refer to some gulfs attached to the Indian Ocean, specifically, the Persian Gulf.
- As a name for the Red Sea, especially after the 19th century. The modern country of Eritrea was named after this ancient Greek name.
- Since 1895, the name has also been applied to a large dusky region on the surface of planet Mars, known as Mare Erythraeum.

## Politics

The current Governor of the province is Delbar Jan Arman.

This has gotten better. Badghis is the biggest in pistachio production in Afghanistan. It is also one of the carpet-making capitals of the country.

### Transportation

Badghis Province has little transportation. Qala i Naw Airport (QAQN) is the only airport.

The typical method of travel was by foot.

Tōkaidō (region)

The  is a Japanese term for both an ancient division of the country and the main road running through the region.

## History

_Tōkaidō_ was one of the main circuits of the _Gokishichidō_ system.  It was first established during the Asuka period. Over centuries, the government functions of the _Gokishichido_ became less important. However, the traditional eight regions, including _Tōkaidō_, remained cultural markers.

The ancient Tōkaidō road was improved and widened in 1604.

It is a geographic region which has 15 ancient provinces, including

- Awa Province
- Hitachi Province
- Iga Province
- Ise Province
- Izu Province
- Kai Province
- Kazusa Province
- Mikawa Province
- Musashi Province
- Owari Province
- Sagami Province
- Shima Province
- Shimōsa Province
- Suruga Province
- Tōtōmi Province

The lands of five prefectures are in the region of _Tōkaidō_: Chiba, Ibaraki, Kanagawa, Saitama and Tokyo.

Today, Route 1 is a major national highway that mirrors the route of the old Tōkaidō except in the Tōkyō-Yokohama section.

Route 15 follows the route of the old Tōkaidō between Tōkyō and Yokohama

Romantic poetry

**Romantic Poetry** was one branch of the Romantic movement. The first generation of Romantic poets (1798) were primarily Coleridge, William Blake and Wordsworth. The second generation was at its culmination in the 1820s, with poets such as Shelley, Byron and Keats. The movement showed an interest in the Gothic, Medieval art, and nature. The ballad form was re-introduced, and the poems often took their form from fairy tales and folk songs. Poets were enjoying writing for themselves rather than senior nobility, and later they were the source of inspiration for the Pre-Raphaelite painters.
