Haji Piyada Mosque, Afghanistan

So…. Turkish overlap:

Haji(hacı) : one that has made the pilgrimage to Mecca (hajj)
Piyada(piyade) : lowest rank of soldier, equivalent of modern day private or generic medieval footsoldier.

“The mosque of the pilgrim footsoldier”

But I assume it was someone’s name.

Side note: we call pawns from chess piyade as well

Did the lower columns get chopped off or covered by earth? :P
