During the excavations, unique burials were found here: coins, glass, various domestic utensils, gold and jewelries of the Indian Ocean. This place is full of mystery and mysticism. It is believed that the World clock at the top of the mausoleum count the life of mankind. Every year the building loses one brick by brick and when all bricks fall, the world will end.
