Summary

Description
English: Shah Rukh, forensic reconstruction by Gerasimov (1941).

"During the making of the Timurids' portraits a discussion arose as to whether Shah-Rukh was a real son of Timur. Timur was, from an anthropological point of view, a typical Mongoloid while Shah-Rukh was pronouncedly Europoid. Historians of Central Asia often refer to the dislike the father felt for the son. Hence a legend arose that Shah-Rukh could not have been Timur's actual son."[1]

"So Timur was a typical Mongoloid. His grandsons Ulugh-Beg and Mohammed Sultan were "hybrids" and in type closely ressembled the present-day town-dwelling Uzbeks. The sons Shah-Rukh and Miran-Shah possessed unmistakable features of a Tadjik type (Europoid of central Asia). Despite all these differences, all five of these men belonged through blood-relationship to one family. This fact is undoubted."[1]

"None of the Timurid burials in the Gur-i-Emir mausoleum was primary, that is to say all the bodies had been interred elsewhere before the remains were transferred to the mausoleum. Not only the body of Miran-Shah but also that of Shah-Rukh took a long road from Herat to Samarkand. The remains of the latter were, moreover, carried with him by his son Ulugh-Beg in the difficult circumstances of a retreat after a lost battle. The correct anatomical arrangement of Shah-Rukh's bones has, however, not called forth any doubt as to their authenticity from scientists."[2]
