00:00Oil-rich deserts, underground mosques, and landscapes shaped by a vanished ocean.
00:08This is western Kazakhstan.
00:10We are in Mangastau, the region at the crossroads of ancient trade and modern development.
00:16At the heart of it lies Akhtau, a city on the Caspian coast now recognized as the cultural capital of the Turkic world.
00:24Mangastau stands locked between centuries.
00:31This is the land where history and industry share the same ground.
00:36Welcome to Modern Omats!
00:40For centuries, Mangastau was a route on the Silk Road connecting the east and the west from China to Persia and beyond.
00:48Today, the region is continuing a centuries-old tradition of east-west trade.
00:56As part of the Trans-Caspian Transport Corridor, it plays a vital role in the modern maritime Silk Road,
01:02while also offering some of the most unique and untouched natural landscapes in Central Asia.
01:09Mangastau, at the beginning of its development, was planned as a agricultural.
01:14There are a lot of useful salvages.
01:16And, of course, the main focus was on the production of oil.
01:19In terms of the development of tourism, we enter into one of the three perspectives of our country's destination.
01:27In terms of the request of the government, there was a complex plan,
01:30where we will develop our natural locations,
01:34the infrastructure, connections, roads, for the convenience of our tourists.
01:40Bozhera is one of the region's key landmarks, widely known as the Kazakh Grand Canyon.
01:51Its dramatic cliffs are the remains of the ancient Tassus Ocean,
01:56which covered this land more than 60 million years ago, during the Mesozoic era,
02:01and we can still find fossilized seashells and traces of marine life.
02:06The ocean is long gone, but its imprint remains.
02:16Along the route stands several underground mosques.
02:19The most famous is Beketata.
02:22He was an 18th-century Sufi teacher and healer.
02:25Today, this site is one of the most visited pilgrimage destinations in Kazakhstan.
02:31The trail starts here, about two kilometers downhill,
02:35over stones and uneven steps.
02:37No transport, no shortcuts.
02:41The mosque carved into a milestone reveals four main chambers.
02:46Everything was made by hand.
02:48Manqistao is more than an oil-rich region.
03:09It's a growing center for tourism.
03:11Ahtau, the region's main city, is located on the Caspian Sea.
03:36In 1959, the Soviet Union turned it into a secret industrial zone known as Uriyev-20.
03:43Uranium was mined here, and the city was chosen for a rare Soviet experiment building a nuclear reactor.
03:52One of the city's most curious landmarks is one of the world's rarest lighthouses,
03:57located directly on the roof of a residential building.
04:01It stands 73 meters above sea level.
04:04The city is a key industrial hub,
04:08and Kazakhstan's main seaport connects the country to Azerbaijan,
04:12Iran, Turkey, Turkmenistan and Russia.
04:15Manqistao is not just a destination, it's where east meets west and where the past still shades the present.
04:21It's a reminder that history is still here and all around us.
04:25Join us next time as modern nomads uncover new places, people and stories.
