At the parking lot near the Hermitage in St. Petersburg there is an unusual road sign. It says Cats crossing. It was introduced to protect the cats living on the territory. The Hermitage cats have become an attraction of their own and a special attraction for young visitors. The museum director keeps saying that the cats interest journalists even more than the exhibits themselves!
Legend of Leopard: The Samarkand Symbol
“By this legend, when Samarkand WAS BUILT, a leopard came down from the Zarafshan mountains. The leopard walked in the streets, near buildings and then WENT BACK to the mountains. Since that time people of Samarkand ARE CALLED “leopards”. And all Samarkand’s flags HAVE an image of the leopard.” This legend WAS TOLD by Abu-Said Ibn Muhammad Idris in the 9th century. Of course, in Samarkand THERE ARE a lot of monuments with images of a leopard or lion as a symbol of importance and power of Samarkand and its people. The symbol of leopard IS FOUND not only in buildings, but also in the crafts and national money. The most famous images of leopards ARE MADE on the walls of the Sherdor Madrasah. “Sher” in Persian means “a lion”. People say that the symbol of the lion WAS BROUGHT by Iranians, but during the Arab and Turkish periods it was changed to the leopard. Since that time it SHOWS how beautiful and important Samarkand is.

Samarkand bread
There is no tastier bread than Samarkand one. Real Samarkand bread can be soft for a long time. It is easy to MAKE. Everyone, who has ever visited Samarkand, does not LEAVE it without Samarkand bread. It is various: small or large but it is always delicious. That’s why people say legends about it. Once Khan of Bukhara asked his advisers why the BREAD is taken from Samarkand to Bukhara, if they could bake it in Bukhara. He was told that bread would be tasty if it was baked only in Samarkand. But the khan did not believe it and ordered to bring Samarkand’s best BAKER to Bukhara and ordered him to bake bread in Bukhara. But the bread was DIFFERENT from what it was in Samarkand. Advisers decided that the reason was in the ingredients and brought from Samarkand a tandyr oven, flour, water, but even then the bread was different from Samarkand one. Then the baker said: “Probably, the reason is in the air.” But it was impossible to transport the AIR, and soon the baker was allowed to return home. People began to carry bread from Samarkand as before.
2) ANCIENT LIBRARY
Perhaps one of the most famous libraries in the history was the library of Bayt al-Hikmah, a library which was built in Baghdad in 1004. Now Baghdad is the capital of Iraq. In that library, the Muslim scientists studied the world’s knowledge and created a library of international importance. They translated Euclid, Archimedes, Pythagoras, Hippocrates, and other famous Greek scientists into Arabic. Indian and Persian texts were used as well. Special books included astronomy, chemistry, geography, mathematics, medicine and zoology. Ascientist, Hunayn bin Iskhaq (known in the West as Johannitius) translated into Arabic a lot of medical works. He also wrote some medical books. In one of his books there were drawings which are used today.
