This moon is made of [magic] medicine [davā].
Its light can't travel very far. Compared with the real moon, it is considered a flawed creation.
For two months, it emerged from the pit in Nahasheb until [one night] it fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
From 775 to 783, Mukana, known as the masked prophet of horasan, led a popular uprising in eastern Abbas.
In recent ten years, he has brought hope to those communities in horasan who are afraid of the increasingly powerful centralized state.
Mukana's most famous work, The Moon in Nahsheb, is still remembered long after his death.
It has been haunting the minds of poets and scientists for hundreds of years.
Unusual phenomena that cannot be explained (especially those related to weather and astronomy) are caused by his genius, but who is Mukana and what is the nature of the artificial moon he created? The veiled prophet Al Mukana ascended the throne in the middle of Khorasan's white shirt.
Hashim Ibn Hakim is a religious fanatic, a freedom fighter and a performer of scientific miracles.
More popularly, he is called "Mukana" (Mukana with a veil), and it is said that he hides his face behind a polished silver mask (or in other words, a green brocade silk veil).
His enemy, Abbas, spread rumors that he was a terrible deformity, the result of war trauma and corrosive substance experiments.
He is a magician, a dissolute, a heretic, or as they say, his supporters, on the other hand, insist that the veil hides an unexplored light of God, which will make anyone invisible unless it is veiled, Samuel Ford's' The Veiled Prophet of horasan' (about 1828).

(Dara mcgrath) Mukana devoted himself to the study of alchemy and philosophy in his early years.
For a time, he served in Abu's army, and it was Abu who put the Abbas dynasty in power.
A few years after Abu was assassinated by the caliph, Mukana launched a low-level resistance against the caliph.
When Melf authorities ordered his arrest, he fled the Oaks River eastward and received enthusiastic support from Sogdia residents.
There, inspired by many victories against the * * * army, he established himself as the ruler of a divided country and attracted followers from various social, ethnic and religious groups. His center of action is the vast Nahashabu Oasis (known as Nesaf by * * * people and Karsh/Kash today), which is a legendary fertility paradise, and no one cares about an inch of land.
It is densely populated with vast gardens, rich settlements, orchards, vineyards, irrigation canals and complex defense structures.
* * * Historians think it is one of the four most famous regions in the world, the Kok Gumbaz Temple in Kashgar, Uzbekistan. (copied by SA4.0), its people are extremely independent and always refuse to bow to the rule of * * * or * *.
In the last quarter of the 8th century, the deposed Sodia nobles and the remnants of religious dignitaries of major religions were attracted here. The people of Soddy are a multi-religious people, who were conquered by the people of * * * less than a generation ago.
Here, the * * * religion itself, far from the power center of * * *, has split and merged with other religions, forming some new foreign sects.
One of the most influential is Manichaeism, which is a potentially explosive combination of fanaticism and jihad in the universe. In the 5th century BC, Aklund Persian relief in Fatana, Persepolis paid tribute to King Darius I of Persia. (A.Davey/CC by 2.

In the oasis of Nahesheb, he declared himself a prophet of Shin Kong, and the same light shone on Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, * * * * and Abu * * *.
He urged the audience to wear white clothes to show purity, and opposed Abbas people, because Abbas people's clothes and flags are black.
He told them that the doomsday war between light and darkness had come.
In this black and white polarized world view, it is necessary to stand aside.

(Public sphere), in response, Bukhara, Samarkand, the whole Zalaf Mountain and Kashgar Valley (as well as many areas south of Termez) all formed an alliance with Mocan, and even the Turkish Hagen in Toharistan gave support and joined the ranks of "people in white" to win the hearts of their followers. Mukana created a wonderful scene: an artificial moon with brightness comparable to that of the real moon.
Every night, when a large number of people gather around the deep well of the city, the prophet will order a moon satellite to appear from the earth and hang in the sky above them.
You can see it for miles.
The moon in Nahesheb appeared from the pit for three months, until a decisive night, when it teetered and irretrievably fell to the earth.
Historians attribute this miracle to mercury and chemicals.
From the works of early writers Nashaki and Abd-Rashid Bakuwi, it can be seen that this prophet probably built a huge metal container and injected a lot of mercury into it.
The image of the moon preserved in liquid metal is so clear and bright that everyone who sees it is surprised. This is a war mask on display at the Doha Art Museum.

(Public domain) According to Azeri scholar Abasali Rustamov, he carefully studied the description of this "miracle", and Mukana may have built some mechanical device to make the mercury barrel rotate, resulting in uneven liquid level.
In this way, the reflection of the moon in the liquid is quite concentrated and intense.
The enhanced image can be reflected on a huge mirror, so it looks like hanging in the sky.
Therefore, Mukana may have created the world's first astronomical Mercury telescope.
Soon, the autocratic caliph Almadi ordered the suppression of the uprising, killing Manichaeism's childhood.
An army led by the most capable general caliph * * immediately marched eastward from Nechabur and recaptured Bukhara in Bukhara, Uzbekistan and Ark Fortress in Samarkand (copied by Sa2.0). When the army entered the suburb of Nakhshab, the prophet retreated to an impregnable fortress, Sanam (somewhere near modern Shahristbaz), one of the uncertain peaks.
There, together with his 30,000 people, he prepared for his death in an atmosphere of religious hysteria to inspire the spirit of his supporters. Mukana told them to wait for the arrival of the angel army, which would destroy the caliph and incite a new era of justice and faith on earth.
But when no angel appeared and despair swallowed the guardian, the prophet agreed to take off his veil and let the guardian catch a glimpse of his face.
At noon on the appointed day, just as the hot sun sprinkled molten light on the yard, he came out of the distant tower and was cheered by ecstatic supporters.
When the noise finally disappeared, he began to slowly remove the veil from his face.
When he did this, his colleagues on the wall raised their mirrors, shone the sun on his sacred face, and lit up the prophet and everything around him with blind light.
Because their eyes and minds were fascinated by the United Nations, they knelt in the dust and worshipped him, saying that they saw the face of God, the veil of the veiled prophet Mukana.
The white army returned to the arms of faith and continued to hold on to the fortress in the mountain for two years.
However, as food began to decrease, many people slipped away, while others took cannibalism.
Even the prophet's own brothers abandoned him and surrendered to the army.
However, Mukana remains as determined as ever, isolated in an internal fortress on the rock.
His alchemy and spiritual strength let him down.
There is no secular or angelic army to help him.
The black flag of Abbas's army defeated the white man, and the prophet had no illusions about his fate after being captured.
So he prepared a meticulous exit.
One morning, the besieged army woke up and found Sanam's fire. It is burning. The grand gate, which has been besieged for two years, has now given up its position, and the hinge has been opened.
Abbas soldiers walked through the maze of corridors and saw countless mirrors hanging on the walls, mercury containers the size of swimming pools, and ever-changing flames. The castle was deliberately set on fire.
All the residents are dead.
There is no sign of a prophet, and many reports about what happened in the past few hours are confusing and contradictory.
The most likely story is told by a woman who survived the prophet's family. She said at a farewell party that Mukana poisoned the rest of his followers and set fire to him.
Then, when he was dealing with his wife and slaves, he took off his clothes and plunged into a hot stove to burn all his mortals.
He turned himself into light, returned to God and looked for him in the ashes. It is said that the soldiers found traces of his hair and brought it back to the caliph.
However, Mukana's belief in returning to earth (in another mortal form) continues to spread throughout the region, and Daniel La Mackley Lise's research for the masked prophet Hulashan.
(Victoria and Albert Museum/CC, North Carolina), Almadi formulated his anger against Samarkand and Bukhara cities and supported the rebellion.
Nahasheb, the center of the Prophet's action, was chosen for special treatment.
It was completely destroyed and its population was dispersed.
The caliph then launched the "Grand Inquisition" to eliminate all traces of * * * varieties in the empire.
Located in 780-785 AD, this inquisition was aimed at Manichaeism, which was regarded as the most serious opponent of * * *.
Anyone found guilty will be sentenced to death.
Kojo, the ruin of the 8th/9th century (public sphere), regarded the Inquisition as the central pillar of his internal policy for the rest of his life.
The commerce along the Silk Road declined sharply until 1 1 and12nd century.
