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 could not be distributed completely because the local population, first, did not know the language.
00:39Ahmed Yasawi, in a very accessible language, in the form of verses, in the Diwan of Ahmed, in his studies, gave him to understand what the Qur'an is in itself.
00:50Tamberlane, 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 this structure that you see here.
01:14It is also likely that Tamberlane realized the importance of this place that had already become the center of science, philosophy and religion in his realm.
01:22From the 12th century to the 19th, the end of the 20th century, there were about 100,000 students,
01:30which he sent from the East of China to the East, to the Balkans, and, of course, to the East of the Arab countries.
01:40When Tamberlane died in 1405, the construction of the mausoleum was halted.
01:44It was never finished, but still served as a royal court, library, school and a place of prayer, gathering and burial of the elders.
01:51It 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, much has been invested in the renewal of the city so that it can attract tourists.
02:12We have a great purpose for our tourists to explore the country.
02:18We have to learn a bit of history.
