\"\"<\/strong>The mausoleum was erected on March 28 – April 27,1305 by an architect Ali Majd al-Din. This is confirmed by an Arabic-language handwriting inscription inserted above the entrance aperture of the mausoleum: \u201cI am the owner of this building (i.e. buried in the mausoleum), a weak slave in need of the mercy of Allah the Most High, Yahya Ibn Muhammad al-Hajj. It was built by the hand (architect) of Ali Majd al-Din in the month of Ramadan in the year of 704 (28.III-27.IV.1305)\u201d. At the beginning of the inscription and in the frame there are verses from the Koran.

According to Azerbaijani historian Meshadikhanum Neymatova, the son of a high-ranking government official, Muhammad al-Hajjah-Yahya, was buried in the mausoleum. However, the mausoleum and the village of the same name were mistakenly named after his father as \u201cMammadbeyli”.

\"\"The mausoleum has an octagonal shape and is covered with a pyramidal dome. It was built of white stone, but the cornice was built of black stone. The main entrance to the mausoleum is from the northeast side.

The dome of the mausoleum consists of two coverings: the outer one is in the form of a pyramidal tent and the inner one is spherical. The space between the inner dome and the outer tent is filled with lightweight aggregate.

In the book \u201cThe Construction art of Azerbaijan (from ancient times to the XIX century)\u201d, 1983, the following is noted:
\n\u201cUnlike other octagonal mausoleums, which have a low-height basement, here the entrance aperture is located at a height of 1.8 m from ground level. This feature and the presence of the crypt brings the mausoleum in the village of Mammadbeyli closer to the tower mausoleums of Azerbaijan.\u201d

The mausoleum crypt was first identified in 1975, as a result of the complete cleaning of its underground part. It is a rectangle, measuring 2.95 x 3.30 m, at a height of 1.90 m and is covered with an ogive. The entrance to the crypt was arranged on the west side.

With the occupation of Zangilan by Armenian armed forces in 1993, the mausoleum was subjected to destruction.<\/p>\n
