Summary[edit]

Kepter Khana
Title
Kepter Khana
Description
The Kepter Khana of Shahriyar Ark is one of a number of such buildings within the Merv landscape. This one is located immediately west of the Palace structure and is upon the same elevated platform as the palace. Their exact function is unknown: they are long, narrow structures with corrugated walls. Kepter Khana translates as Pigeon House: a name derived from the idea that the numerous square niches lining the interior walls resembled pigeon coupes. The purpose of these niches is in fact unknown; another interpretation being that the buildings were libraries and the niches were shelves for scrolls.
