Abaqa’s initiatives against his other principal enemies, the Mamluks of Egypt, who had been steadily gaining ground in Syria, were less successful, perhaps in part because characterized by less energy that he displayed in the east.
Internally, Abaqa’s task was to consolidate the hold on Iran established by his father, at whose death the Mongols controlled in practical terms only the northern regions of the country and exercised a vague suzerainty over the south and east.
Abaqa died at Hamadān on Ḏu’l-ḥeǰǰa 680/1 April 1282 in a state of delirium tremens induced by a bout of heavy drinking, to which, like the majority of Mongol rulers, he was prone; Šams-al-dīn Jovaynī was subsequently accused of poisoning him.

 Takht-i Sulaiman: Genghis Khan (LACMA)
Takht-i Sulaiman (literally, “Throne of Solomon”) is the site of the sole surviving palace of the Ilkhanid period and the only well-preserved example of Ilkhanid secular architecture.
Located on a mountainside in northwestern Iran, the palace was built as a summer residence for the second Ilkhanid ruler Abaqa (reigned 1265–81).
The palace was built over the ruins of a sanctuary where the Sasanian emperors (the last pre-Islamic rulers of Iran) were believed to have been crowned, indicating that the site was likely chosen not only for its climate and location but also for its associations with ancient Iranian kingship.
