In Turkey, may have found the grave of the granddaughter of King Tamar
In the North-East of Turkey, archaeologists discovered a tomb supposedly belonging to the legendary Gurji Khatun, the granddaughter of Queen Tamar, who was married to the Seljuk Sultan. This was reported today at the Embassy of Georgia in Turkey, citing local media reports.
"As a result of archaeological excavations in the area of Pasinler Erzurum city, was found a sarcophagus, presumably belonging to the Sultan Ala ad-DIN Kay-Qubad the Second and his mother Princess Tamara, nicknamed Gurdjieff-Khatun", — reads the statement of the Embassy.
The Embassy notes that it will study this issue in detail.
Gurgi Khatun was the Georgian Princess Tamara, the daughter of Queen Rusudan and the granddaughter of the legendary Queen Tamar. In 1236 she was married to Sultan Rumsky — Kias ed-DIN Hurva II (1236-1246).
Georgian Princess enjoyed great influence at the Sultan's court. She was nicknamed Gurji-Khatun, which means "Georgian lady".
In honor of his marriage to the Georgian Princess and the birth of his first-born son, the Sultan issued coins in 1236, on which her sign was minted: the Sun in the zodiac of Leo. Later it became one of the most famous emblems in the East "Shir u Khurshid" ("lion and Sun").
After the Sultan died at the age of 27, the government fell into the hands of the vizier muin ed-DIN Suleiman Fervani and, according to tradition, the Sultan's widow became his wife.
It is known that Gurji-Khatun maintained friendly relations with the philosopher and poet Jelal ed-DIN Rumi — the founder of the order of dervishes-Sufis in Konya. The Sultan, who, by the way, did not give up Christianity after marriage, was a member of this order, as it was open to representatives of any monotheistic religion.
In the Iranian historical composition Aflaki "Manaqib al-Arifin" (XIV century) tells how the Queen of Gurdjieff-Khatun instructs the painter on behalf of Ain al-Daulah to make an image of the famous poet and "his Holiness of our mentor" Sufi Sheikh Jalal al-DIN Rumi.
