00:00In this episode of the Modern Nomads, we take you to the southwest of Kazakhstan, to the holy city of Turkestan.
00:11It is best known for the mausoleum of Hoca Ahmad Yasawi, whose verses and teachings earned him the reputation of the holy teacher,
00:18the man who spread Islam in Central Asia and beyond.
00:21It's a place of pilgrimage included in the UNESCO's list of cultural heritage.
00:25The city is host to over a million believers and tourists every year.
00:30When the religion of Islam passed on the territory of Central Asia, it was completely spread out,
00:35due to the fact that the local population, first of all, did not know the language.
00:39Ahmed Yasawi, in a very accessible language, in the form of verses, in the Diwan Hikmet, in his studies,
00:46gave us to understand what the Quran is in itself.
00:50Tamburlain, better known in this region as Emir Timur, was convinced that Hoca saw his coming and wanted to visit his mausoleum.
01:06Then he ordered the construction of a much bigger and lavish one, and the result is the recent structure that you see here.
01:13It is also likely that Tamburlain realized the importance of this place that had already become the center of science, philosophy, and religion in his realm.
01:22When Tamburlain died in 1405, the construction of the mausoleum was halted.
01:31It was never finished, but still served as a royal court, library, school, and a place of prayer, gathering, and burial of the elders.
01:39It became the role model for the Timurid architectural style that spread throughout Asia.
01:56The mausoleum is a breathtaking place, but this city is not just a place of pilgrimage. It has many other things to offer.
02:03In recent years, MACH has been invested in the renewal of the city, so that it can attract tourists.
