In the Kyzylorda region lies the medieval settlement of Barshynkent, where archaeologists have uncovered a large mausoleum and an octagonal-shaped madrasah, media reports.
During ancient times, a route from Urganish and Central Kazakhstan led to present-day Astana, with one of its branches following along the Syr Darya River towards Samarkand and Bukhara.
Historian Madiyar Eleuov has confirmed this by discovering Chinese coins, insects indigenous to the Indian Ocean, and illustrations of elephants, rare fish, and whales.
Despite being conquered and flooded by Juchi, Genghis Khan's son, Barshynkent, still stands as a testament to different historical periods.
Eleuov emphasized the importance of preserving this unique settlement for future generations, protecting it, and conducting further research.
Restoration of the discovered artifacts could extend their life by 200-300 years.
