Death

edit

Prokopenko died at the age of 47. A bus she was in was struck by a train on the Sapporo—Kita-Hiroshima railway crossing. A total of 7 people were in the bus, 3 got injured and one - Prokopenko herslelf - died. An investigation into the incident led to the fact that the railway company hasn't investigated the crossing for safety, as the bar gates weren't lowered and the sound didn't come when the train came, and the bus driver was charged at first but later released.

Her funeral services were attended by at least 500 visitors of his "fans, friends, and just followers of her" as noted by the Japan times. After Prokopenko's death her supposedly unfinished future book was compiled and published by her girlfriend in July 2024. Other unpublished material was published separately in a compilation, titled "Unfinished Tales of Kohana Prokopenko".

The castle consists of an internal fortress built on top of the southern, high part of the rocky plateau in a square-like shape, with approximately rectangular towers distributed on its corners with two defensive levels, and in the middle, a heavenly courtyard with a ground level. The upper fort is surrounded by a first wall. The surface of the upper rocky plateau and the upper fort include five rectangular retaining towers. The inner fort is also surrounded by an outer wall surrounding the edges of the rocky plateau, and a number of rectangular towers at two levels high, equipped with small arrow targets. The main entrance to the castle is located in the southwestern corner of the outer castle. It is an Arab-Islamic architectural system consisting of two large halls with a long corridor between them. The entrance is characterized by turning at a right angle from the first main hall to the second hall, which in turn leads to a void, distributing paths into the castle through. There are two roads. The main road heads north to reach a corridor 65 meters long. Parts of this corridor were partially dug into the rock, and it was provided on the western side with a series of arrow targets and towers. At the end of the corridor there is a third large hall that closes the corridor and through it passes into the castle. The second corridor heads south, passing through a door cut into the rock that allows access to the upper part of the castle via a staircase prepared within the rocky mass. The outer wall of the castle was strengthened by building a number of rectangular and polygonal towers over several stages of time, and their stones varied between large and small stones. Parts of the walls of the old fort were also strengthened and covered with double walls in both the inner and outer castle to keep pace with the development of military architecture during the ages it passed through. . At the end of the twelfth century AD (the period of Sinan Rashid al-Din), the citadel witnessed a new rebuilding that included a number of polygonal towers equipped with five large arrow targets distributed on two defensive levels, especially on the western and northern sides of the citadel, reflecting the military and defensive importance of the citadel, and the faction was occupied and covered. There are a number of important halls between the walls of the inner castle and the outer castle.

At the beginning of the 13th century, a palace was built in the upper part of the inner castle. It is distinguished by its gate decorated with an inscription dating back to 1226. An advanced door, smaller in size than the first door, was also added to further fortify the main entrance to the citadel, and a fortified area was created in front of it, in which a bathroom was built. It dates back to the middle of the thirteenth century, and its use continued until the Tatar invasion in the year 1401. The Mamluks, during the reign of al-Zahir Baybars, carried out a major restoration operation after its liberation from Mongol control included the construction of a series of defensive terraces on the southern and eastern sides of the citadel. At the end of the eighteenth century AD, the castle became the headquarters of a ruling family of the Nizari Ismailis. The house of Prince Mustafa al-Mulhim was built on the eastern side of the outer castle in the year 1793. Public housing abounded in the castle, and the castle remained occupied with public housing until the arrival of the French Mandate, when a French garrison occupied the castle. For some time, the ring road that currently surrounds the castle was prepared.[3]
