A date error? edit

"After the Revolution of 1978, this building was abandoned until it was rebuilt again in the early seventies” Shouldn’t that be “early eighties”? PapayaSF (talk) 03:07, 4 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

General issues, rewrite needed edit

This article is in bad shape. The material added in June 2021 is unfortunately barely comprehensible and includes some dubious claims, such as the monument serving as a sundial(?). The sources are barely identifiable and generally don't appear to be reliable. A complete rewrite is probably needed. I don't currently have time to do that, but I did write a brief summary of the monument at Seljuk architecture (see end of this section) with scholarly sources that can help here. Some of the things mentioned in the article here are at least on the right track, according to those sources, though we need more details, e.g.: the identity of the burial is indeed unclear and the monument was heavily renovated in recent history. I've updated the maintenance templates in the meantime to be more specific, in case someone has time to fix some of this. R Prazeres (talk) 00:39, 5 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
