ilterish-Khan's video: Turks CaspioNet kz

A regular village with a not-so-usual set of cultural and entertainment facilities. A bazaar, a supermarket, a local history museum, a park. At the entrance there is a monument to Sypatay batyr. Near the prosecutor's office -- a monument to Zhambyl. There are also an aircraft and a tank. And, according to the official census, seventy-three monuments of past civilizations. When we were building the house and digging the foundation, we found a pitcher. People have been discovered all sorts of pitchers and coins in many of these homes here. There is nothing surprising about such discoveries. Every garden lives and breathes history. Local residents have long since stopped paying attention to the remains of ancient civilizations. Mynbulak - a thousand springs, was a sacred land of the ancient Turks. And Merke translates from Farsi as "the center". They say that in the seventh century AD this area was the summer capital of the Western Turkic Khanate. Strong, tough Turks. It is important to not confuse Turks with Turkic peoples. The first time the word Turk is mentioned in Chinese chronicles is in the sixth century. Ostensibly, this is what representatives of the Ashina tribe were first called - the rulers of the khanates were said to have originated from a female wolf. According to one version, ashina is a Saks word for blue. In the stories about the first khanates, they were called Kok-Turks -- "the blue, divine Turks". For example, one of the most successful governors received the name Bilge Khagan -- the wise and happy on. By the sixth century AD most of the land that is now modern Kazakhstan was under the control of the Zhuzhan state. The ashina tribe was also subordinate to the Zhuzhan state and supplied it with iron and weapons. However, they supplied military consumer goods, while keeping high-quality weapons for themselves. Soon, freedom-loving members of the ashina tribe grew tired of the oppressive power of the Zhuzhan state. But attacking them in the open meant the breach of contract which didn't fare well with the honor code of the steppe. A diplomatic solution was chosen. The ashina leader named Bumyn asked for the hand of Zhuzhan Khan's daughter in marriage. And half the kingdom into the bargain. Then, with a clear conscience Bumyn married a Chinese princess, having thus acquired an ally in the powerful neighbor. He ordered to behead a Zhuzhan ambassador and in the middle of the sixth century completely defeated the Zhuzhans. The khan who had refused Bumyn, committed suicide. And Bumyn founded a new state - the Turkic Khanate. However, very little depended on the future ruler's response. In the seventh century the state was divided into eastern and western khanates. The latter is located precisely on the territory of modern Kazakhstan. Trade routes, the main one being the Silk Way, passed through the territory of the Turkic khanate. One day of following the caravan route took the travelers to a new town. Another say - another town. There was a new town every fifty kilometers. There were no road robberies. During ashina's reign there were no caravan robberies. The travelers were required to pay the trade tax - one-tenth of each of the packs, and then they could proceed in peace. Drugs were transported quite legally from Central Asia to China, feminine cosmetics and perfumes were imported from Persia. Silk and porcelain traveled from China to Europe. Part of the goods remained in the Turkic Khanate. Along with various religions and new technologies. For example, the town of Merke boasted its very own water pipe system.
