Contributions to the arts 
Timur became widely known as a patron to the arts. Much of the architecture he 
commissioned still stands in Samarqand, now in present-day Uzbekistan. He was 
known to bring the most talented artisans from the lands he conquered back to 
Samarkand. And he is credited with often giving them a wide latitude of artistic 
freedom to express themselves. 
According to legend, Omar Aqta, Timur's court calligrapher, transcribed the Qur'an 
using letters so small that the entire text of the book fit on a signet ring. Omar also is 
said to have created a Qur'an so large that a wheelbarrow was required to transport it. 
Folios of what is probably this larger Qur'an have been found, written in gold lettering 
on huge pages. 
Timur was also said to have created Tamerlane Chess, a variant of 
shatranj played on a larger board with several additional pieces and an original 
method of pawn promotion. 
Timur's mandating of Kurash wrestling for his soldiers ensured for it a lasting and 
legendary legacy. Kurash is now a popular international sport and part of the Asian 
Games. 
Legacy 
Timur's legacy is a mixed one. While Central Asia blossomed under his reign
other places such as Baghdad, Damascus, Delhi and other Arab, Persian, Indian 
and Turkic cities were sacked and destroyed, and millions of people were 
slaughtered. Thus, while Timur still retains a positive image in Central Asia, he 
is vilified by many in Arab, Persian and Indian societies. At the same time, many 
Western Asians still name their children after him, while he is called as «Teymour, 
Conqueror of the World» in the Persian literature.
