| The mausoleum is situated in a small village named Mane in
Kahka region of Turkmenistan. It was built during the reign of Seljuk Empire in
11-12th centuries. This mausoleum was constructed over the grave of the famous
follower of Sufism and great philosopher in Eastern literature Abu Said Maneyi
who lived during the period of 968-1049. Approximate time of its construction
estimated to be the middle of 11th century. From the early childhood Abu Said
began his education. At the age of 12 he could already utter three thousand
lines in Arabic language by heart. He studied in Mary and gained his education
from famous people of that period Abu-Zahir and Abu-Fazil. There are lots of
stories about Abu-Said’s experiences in his life.
One of them tells us when Abu-Said was the mosque in
Nishapur, the famous erudite Abu-Ali Ibn Sina entered and joined people. They
met each other and had conversation that lasted for three days. When Abu-Said
was about to leave one person stopped him and asked “How did you like Ibn
Sina?” He answered: “Ibn Sina knows everything that I see.” When the same
question was given to Ibn Sina he answered: “Abu Said sees everything that I
know”.
