Mausoleum Khoja Ahmed Yasawi in the town of Yasi of Turkestan stands in the memory of the 12^th c Sufi saint Khoja Ahmed Yasawi(Qoja Ahmet Iassayi kensensi) of Kazakhstan belonging to Timurid period. It replaced the smaller 12^th c mausoleum by the order of Timur(Tamerlane). After his death in 1405, construction of the building was stopped. It is a multifunctional structure of the khanaqa type, with functions of a mausoleum and a mosque. A conic-spherical dome, the largest in Central Asia, sits above the Main Hall known as Kazandyk.  According to Unesco, ‘in the intrados of the domes, glazed tiles featuring geometric patterns with epigraphic ornaments on the exterior and interior walls, fine Kufic and Suls inscriptions on the walls, and texts from the Qu’ran on the drums of the domes’ are found.

Name Kazakhstan’s root is in ‘Khujitta’ who belonged to the ‘naga’ dynasty or the serpent dynasty. They were the rulers of Khujanga; Khujjanag was son of Kanittha-Tissa of Kolhana in 246-248 B.C). Family of Khujja Naga left their homeland due to enmity with his elder brother Kunca-Naga. Acccording to Pali sources, an arahant in the name of Khujja lived in the time of First Council who had many mystic powers.  Khujjatara was a woman disciple of the Order; even name of Khudda was attached to some of the Aggabodhi Kings of Kolhana(same as Ceylon).

Founder of the Mughal Empire Babur was misunderstood by scholars who hailed from the ancient ‘barbara’ community; many mistaken ideas on the origin of Empires in the Central Asia exists because of untraced geographical origin of the migrants who fled from their original homelands due to flood and volcanic eruptions.

Anciently Turkestan was known as Tuhulo; and it was a place at the foot of the Mt Meru same as Sumeru. Origin of the history of the Quran refers to the Plain of Mahodaya from which name of Mohammad has been derived. It is the same geographical plain with which Mahanama and Mahasala names are historically attached with.

It is fatally wrong to say that human activity in the Kazakhstan began after the extinct of Paithecanthropus and Sinanthropus one million-800,000 years ago in the Karatau Mountains and the Caspian and Balkhash regions. Scholars who took the name of Karatau and Balkhash do not their historic origin. Karatiya was the name of a Yakhha who was also a Naga. Similarly Balk refers to a place near ancient Mecca(not the modern Mecca).

It is very interesting to find Kazakhstan’s prehistoric cultures linked to Srubna(Subarna’Subham), Afanasevo(frank tribes) and Andronova(Andhakas), and Saka people living here during 500 BC to 500 A.D. This presents a complex geographical identity for the people of Kazakhstan which only can be explained through their migration-memory linked to their original homelands. The Mongol Empire sees its root in Mangala country which identifies itself with Asoka who stayed there after being converted in Buddhism.

Historians speak of Huns controlling Kazakhstan during fourth century; the Huns were the Yuei-chi people who were the Skythians dwellings on the banks of the river Indus. Huns again were as same as the people of the Han dynasty to whom history considers as people of ancient Chin(not the present China). The independent states which flourished in Kazakhstan during the Middle Ages were called Kangar, Oghuz Yabgu, and the Kara-Khanid Kaganate; and the their people were associated with Atbasar Kelteminar, Botai and Ust-Narym cultures.  All these names collectively identify the region of Caspian Sea whose other name was Narayan Sarovara or the Ust-Narym; Botai refers to Boitai where the ship carrying Ulysses when returned to the Phascian-shore turned into stone known as Boitai, name of a hill in shape of a ship means ‘boita’.
