https://diler.tube/videos/watch/f9734685-835c-439a-a803-47f30232210b Turkmenistan might be one of the most mysterious countries on Earth. Hidden between Iran, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and the Caspian Sea, this rarely visited Central Asian nation has a story stretching back thousands of years—from some of the region’s earliest farming settlements and the ancient Silk Road to Soviet rule, natural gas wealth and one of the world’s most unusual modern governments. In this video, we explore the complete story of Turkmenistan: its history, geography, economy, culture and the strange contradictions that make the country so fascinating. We’ll travel back to ancient Nisa and Merv, cross the brutal Karakum Desert, uncover how the Silk Road transformed the region, follow Turkmenistan through the Russian Empire and Soviet Union, and see how Saparmurat Niyazov reshaped the newly independent country.
