Tourists walk around the Shakhi Zinda Necropolis in Samarkand, Uzbekistan. Shakhi Zinda is the burial place of royal persons and nobles. But the main mausoleum from which the necropolis starts seems to be the imaginary grave of Prophet Muhammad's cousin, Kusam ibn Abbas. The complex was called "Shakhi Zinda" that means in Persian "The Living King". Shakhi Zinda consists of eleven mausoleums, which were built one after another in 14 - 15th centuries.
