17th CENTURY MIRZA JANI BEG TARKHAN TOMB at THATTA, SINDH in 1809 & NOW Mirza Jani Beg Tarkhan was a Mirza (ruler) of Sindh. He succeeded his grandfather Mirza Muhammad Baqi after his death. He ruled from 1585 to 1591 as an independent monarch of Sindh but was forced to submit to Mughal authority. He later involuntarily abdicated in 1593 and a Mughal Subahdar was appointed in his place. But due to social and public unrest, the Mughal authority appointed Jani in his place in 1594. Jani continued to serve as the Mughal Subahdar till his death in 1601. The painting of the Tomb of Mirza Jani Beg Tarkhan in Thatta was created in ink and pencil by William Maxfield in 1809 and available at British Library. The tomb stands majestically even today in Makli Necropolis which is one of the largest funerary sites in the world, spread over an area of 10 kilometres near the city of Thatta, Sindh. The site houses approximately 500,000 to 1 million tombs (graves) built over the course of a 400-year period from 14th century to 18th century and is UNESCO World Heritage Site. #thatta #history #likesforlike #comment #share

Mirza Isa Khan Tarkhan II Tomb (c. 1644) Mirza Isa Khan II, known as "The Younger," to distinguish him from his father Isa Khan I (r. 1555-66), was the builder of Makli's finest funerary monument. Although born in a time of great turmoil, when the Tarkhan dynasty could no longer sustain itself as an independent state, he successfully pivoted to working directly with the Mughals, who assumed direct control over Thatta beginning in 1613 [1]. Collaborating with the Mughals across the reigns of three Emperors (Akbar, Jahangir, and Shah Jahan), Isa Khan II was appointed governor of Thatta in 1628 or 1629, but was then either recalled to the Mughal court or opted to return there for his own safety. #mughal #akbar #jahangir #shahjahan #makligraveyard

Ambassador Blome visited Makli Necropolis, one of the largest burial grounds in the world, and was impressed by its history. Through the U.S. Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation (AFCP), and in partnership with the Sindh Culture, Government of Sindh and the Heritage Foundation of Pakistan, we completed restoration of the tombs of Sultan Ibrahim and Amir Sultan Muhammad in 2017. The United States government is proud to be a part of preserving the deep, diverse, and significant heritage of the Pakistani people. Do you know any other project in Pakistan that is supported by the United States government through AFCP? #AFCP #USPreservingHeritage #USAMBinKarachi #AmbBlome #USConsulateKhi #usinpak
