Mizdakhan Legends

Mizdakhan legends travelers hear on site: Nazlimkhan Suliw’s love story, Shamun Nabi the giant, and the World Clock bricks at Khalifa Yerejep.

Nazlimkhan Suliw — a local Romeo and Juliet

At Nazlimkhan Suliw (Mazlumkhan-Sulu), guides tell of a master builder who leapt from an unfinished dome for love — and a princess who followed. The semi-underground hall with blue-glazed brick makes the legend feel close.

Seven bricks and the World Clock

Pilgrims stack seven bricks at Khalifa Yerejep, believing each year a brick falls from the “World Clock.” Whether myth or ritual, it is central to how locals experience the Mizdakhan Necropolis.
