This is in Ray, Iran, a 1,000-year-old marvel still stands, known as the Toghrol Tower. Measures some 20 meters high, standing since 1063 CE, made of earthen bricks, with some historians believing that it shelters the tomb of Tughril Beg, founder of the Seljuk dynasty. It serves as a beacon for Silk Road caravans, its stark silhouette marking the landscape under a fiery sun and moonlit desert scape alike.

It is an engineering wonder - note the smooth, 11 m-wide inner cylinder cloaked by a 24-sided exterior ring, 16 m in width. In true Persian fashion, its geometry not only serves to protect the tower from earthquakes - but it also transforms the monument into a giant sundial; each vertex’s shadow marking an hour of the day - nearly a millennium on, the structure still measures time with the rising sun, a testament to the ancient artisans who blended astronomy, spirituality, and architectural daring under one roof of brick and sarooj.

One of many wonders of the world located on the great nation of Iran…
