The stone ruins of Akyr-Tas, located 40 kilometers north of Taraz (Kazakhstan), are of serious interest to Kazakh and foreign scientists for the mystery of their origin and the mysterious purpose.
The complex attracts with its energy both "senses" and ordinary mortals who visit this complex among the unique historical sites of the Zhambyl region.
Psychics come to this deserted place to pray in silence, to meditate, saturated with high energies. Moreover, the “call of Akyr-Tas” on other days simultaneously affects “senses”, even those who are in different cities.
Fans of esotericism, completely ignorant of each other, tell identical stories about how they "see" the "cosmodrome of alien ships" located on Akyr-Tas. There are times when cars break down for no reason and stall, if at an inopportune hour uninformed people try to get into this mystical place.
According to scientists, the Akyr-Tas area is a tectonic fault zone with huge underground voids. There are underground storage facilities where gas reserves were injected. These voids can create a natural anomaly. Complex geotectonic processes in the bowels of Mother Earth have a strong effect on humans, awakening hidden reserves, activating physiological processes.
As the “senses” say, Akyr-Tas is a natural generator that activates the “dormant” cells of the body. On the physical plane, this manifests itself in a purely individual way - trance, heightened feelings or other physical manifestations. But in any case, people in these places, as a rule, experience a strong energy surge, a surge of strength.

Modern beautification of antiquity
Today Akyr-Tas is one of the most visited tourist sites in Zhambyl region, a popular historical and natural monument. Thanks to the care of the Directorate of the State Historical and Cultural Museum-Reserve "Monuments of Ancient Taraz", the historical complex, located far from busy highways, in a waterless and desert area, has acquired a completely civilized look. The territory of the complex is fenced, paths are paved with stone, lanterns and benches are installed. Now, foreign tourists, accustomed to comfort, do not have to stumble over stones as before.
In 2012, a building of a scientific information and analytical center was built here with a conference hall, a mini-hotel for archaeologists, offices, where archaeologists and historians can work in the pristine silence. Round-the-clock protection of the monument is provided. The directorate plans to open a small museum of artifacts at the center and create a garden. Young trees are carefully planted by the local caretaker Tilesbek Seriev.
“Today, on the territory of Akyr-Tas, within the framework of the national-strategic program“Cultural Heritage”, which provides for the restoration and museumification of the monument, comprehensive work on the scientific and archaeological study and the creation of an open-air museum of archeology continues, the director of the museum said in an interview with Kazinform correspondent - reserve "Monuments of ancient Taraz" Taken Moldakynov.
Speaking about the available results of archaeological work, T. Moldakynov noted that at great depths, in places of deep bedding of ground rocks, a powerful fundamental masonry was discovered.
“These huge stone blocks, three and a half to four meters high, were set taking into account the relief of the earth and fastened with a special mortar. The ancient builders installed a plumbing system that supplied water from a mountain spring to the palace's reservoirs. The structure itself, of course, is grandiose - it is a set of rooms connected by stone passages, which somewhat resembles the mysterious labyrinths of the Egyptian pyramids.
No wonder there is a theory of French researchers that directly links the pyramids of Giza with Akyr-Tas. But what it really was, why and by whom was it built - no one has yet given clear, scientifically substantiated answers to these questions. It is known that back in the 7th century, when a Chinese monk drove through these places, leaving his "unfortunate notes", he described Akyr-Tas as ruins, and even then there was no explanation of what kind of structure it was. In any case, those who erected these cyclopean walls and vaults were representatives of a highly developed civilization,”said the director of the museum-reserve.
Eh, roads…
Not without problems that the management of this unique monument and tourist site is not able to solve.
“Five years ago, I made a proposal to the regional maslikhat on the need to lay good roads to the historical and natural monuments of the region, located in remote places of the region - Akyr-Tas, Berikkara gorge,” said T. Moldakynov. - This is necessary for the development of international tourism, the creation of a comfortable infrastructure. Then a decision was made on Akyr-Tas, there was a project worth 380 million tenge. Now I don't know how much it will cost, but there are still no roads."
Among the valuable tourist sites in the region, located in hard-to-reach places, there are, in addition to Akyr-Tas and the Berikkar protected gorge with the Tau Samaly tourist complex, the mystical beauty of the Koksay gorge, and the sacred mountain sanctuaries of Merke and Zhaisan.
“All these objects are worthy of attracting tourists from all over the world to our region,” said T. Moldakynov. - For example, Akyr-Tas is protected by the state, pilgrims from the cities of Kazakhstan, from other countries, foreign scientists come here specially. And from the highway there are eight kilometers of a terrible road. I have to somehow justify myself, tell the guests that this is such a "Kazakhstani extreme" …
Zhambyl region has all the conditions for the development of tourism. In the opinion of many representatives of the Kazakhstani and foreign tourist industry, no other region of Kazakhstan is so generously endowed with historical and archaeological monuments, unique natural zones as Zhambyl. But foreign tourists are only monuments, without good roads and their usual hotel and other services, you cannot lure into such conditions with a roll ….
Akyr-Tas, "the last stone" on the edge of the world, the abode of aliens and the refuge of psychics, mysterious and incomprehensible, radiating energy and hiding secrets, today awaits its explorers, tourists and normal roads.
