- Turkmenistan Part 2: • Inside the Most SECRET...
Thank you so much for watching! My brother and I traveled across Central Asia in October 2019. Read about locations and trip details below:
Location: Ashgabat, Turkmenistan
Stop #1: Happiness Palace (Wedding Palace) -- "The eleven-story building holds seven banquet rooms, 36 shops, and two cafes, providing all the necessary items of wedding services, including dress shops, decorations, beauty salons and a 22-room hotel. The third and fourth floors hold administrative offices and a library."
Stop #2: Old Nisa -- "One of the Parthian Empire’s earliest capitals. Its Parthian name was Mithradatkirt, or fortress of Mithradates (171-138 BC), after the king who turned Parthia into a powerful empire and one of Ancient Rome’s greatest rivals.The Parthian Empire was the most powerful force on the Iranian plateau, intermittently controlling Mesopotamia between 190 BC and AD 224. At one point, its empire occupied all of modern Iran, Iraq and Armenia, parts of Turkey, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan and Tajikistan. It also briefly held territories in Pakistan, Syria, Lebanon, Israel and Palestine."
Stop #3: Türkmenbaşy Ruhy Mosque -- "The mosque, constructed by the French company Bouygues, was built in the hometown of President Saparmurat Niyazov. It opened on October 22, 2004 and was built by Niyazov with a mausoleum in preparation for his death. Niyazov died two years later, and was buried in the mausoleum on December 24, 2006."

I love Turkmenistan from CAMBODIA 🇰🇭🇰🇭🥰
Love the people, but no the place or it's regime (maybe just it's arquitecture, it's quite interesting like most of the post-soviet states, thought!! xd).
Beautiful Turkmenistan and beautiful people of Turkmenistan 🇹🇲 ,,,, love from Syria
Thank you 😊 I am from Turkmenistan in Ashgabat
@@brndmedia8316 are black people there.
@@brndmedia8316 are you oppressed?
I like to visit
Central Asia is one of my favourite places to travel, however I haven’t been to Turkmenistan. I’d love to travel and experience the capital, such a unique place. Great video thanks for the insight!
Hello! Have you been in Kazakhstan? 🇰🇿
Same here. I would love to visit Turkmenistan. It's like visiting one of the Gulf Arab countries
please refer everything back to yourself. Thanks.
this country looks very special! like isolated, but very interesting! all the istan-countries are special! nature beauty climate food people! I hope to visit them!
this is so interesting!! looking forward to the next videos!
This is the best video on Turkmenistan I've ever seen! I'm surprised you only have 584 subscribers (585 now). I like Michael's commentary; very insightful!
I agree!!
Hey twin
Great Video, love the editing and commentary :)
This monuments are energy harvesting machines. Great video!
I thought so. That's a real "smart city" love it.
nice video, very strange yet beautiful city
your brother is like a tv personality too :D
Glad you went there! It IS the best capital city ever!
Thanks for sharing! When travelling to Turkmenistan, is it compulsory to go in a group or use a guide, or is it possible to arrive, stay in a hotel and take care of your own itinerary?
many strange building, but the mosque is beautiful. great!
Wow amazing! Like a pearl in Central Asia, beautiful, clean and instagramable. Huge love, greetings and respect from Indonesia to Turkmenistan. Highly recommended country to visit. Thanks for sharing, Katherine, so informative. I hope your channel continues to grow.
It is a very poor country with a dictatorial regime and a food ration system.
It's like North Korea and this video is proof. Thank you. Empty parks, empty sidewalks, empty streets. Only a lie for tourists. These places are not commonly used by residents.
You will see soon Turkmenistan still under construction. They will beat the Dubai soon in +30 years
I’m from Afghanistan but Turkmenistan interests me so much I wanna visit one day
Thank you for this video ! - hello from Greece 🇬🇷
Hello greece 🇹🇲🇹🇷🤝🇬🇷
So interesting! Great work
"Variety is the spice of life" once said my teacher. Now i understood.
I never heard of this country in my whole life. I just saw on tiktok and I had to search it. Such a beautiful place but seems like there’s not a lot of people
I came from tiktok as well 😂 but why they stopped making videos
@@mohammedtaha5563 lol I guess we watched the same video
Do know Why you never heardof it ?because it is a Muslim Country
hi
@@hmaljutaily Lets say there muslim country, North Korea isn’t muslim country but there is a closed too! What does this have to do with being a muslim??
How was the language barrier overcome? Was there any time it felt awkward?
Whoever edits this is good :)
Beautiful Turkmenistan 👍👍, Love from Indonesia
I have in Ishqhabad in 1994 from that time to now huge difference like developed a century comparing neighboring countries
No need of lockdown in Ashgabat.
They still claim they have no COVID cases.
@@briantravelman theyre not playing along with the hoax. I dont blame em
@@kgbkgb7616 you are right
Why
@@briantravelman covid is communism
omg im in love with michael's brain!
He really got into it with that explanation of the tomb ceiling 😂 🤣
Strange country. This city is really creepy but it looks like a unique experience. Micheal's description of the place was spot on!
It looks like place in 1984's Orwell.
I’ve visited it and is very nice. And i m Western European. I really like that country. More tradition and decency than europe or america
This place is not creepy but looks like heaven I prefer ashgabad than any stupid new york and London crowdness is disgusting 🤮🤮.
@@alfiemandella2258 women have no rights there so good luck
@@alfiemandella2258 creepy
You're brother is so funny! 🤣🤣🤣
This is one of the most closest and dangerous place ruled by a dictator like North Korean, Iranian .
Mad place
Great video!
Fantastic video! Earned yourself a subscriber :)
Askhabad is out of the world 👍
Nice vlog....interesting to watch. 👍
just cam across your video Katherine! Did you guys recently visit Turkmenistan? I really find this country so unique and interesting haha would love to visit and film here. What was your experience like filming/vlogging it? Any issues with police? Also what company did you book with?
Thanks for watching! We went in fall 2019 before Covid started so I’m not sure what travel restrictions are like now. They let you film and take photos of everything except inside certain museums. However, there are some police around depending on where you are and you are not allowed to film/photograph them at all - if they catch you, they will make you delete it. Vlogging is easy because there are no people around and locals you may come across are really nice. I can directly connect you with my local tour guide on Instagram. Hope that info helps!!
@@KatherineStein i m ur big fan from india..god bless u... May live long

Out of this freaking world 👍 really
Every building is like a palace..
Amazing video keep it up
The whole place is powered by free energy.
How? Normal electricity like we know it, or in another fashion?
@@teddy7555 They just run some long cables and plug into neighbouring countries grids. ..
@@HeLpLOstGOdAny1 Haha that would be fun, tho, we have enough power generators in our country :D
You look so much like a Kazakh girl
They're definitely Central Asian, I just don't know from which country.
After looking on google earth I definitely think this is a city of free energy for the future. U see the sacred geometry being carved into the land like grid patterns. The way alot of the buildings are layed out with the landscaping looks like computer motherboard components or something very symmetrical for the purpose of utilizing electromagnetic energy that comes from the aether. This kind of free energy harvesting and distribution was utilized by the tartairan empire of old. Look into the mudflood tartairan empire and if you don't think this place has anything similar going on then show me how please.
Lots of love from India
very interesting country! Love it! Thanks!
I love this video!! 📷✅🌿🕊️
Maasha allah ❤❤❤.
Mashallah beautiful masjid thnku
This channel is so underrated.
Thanks, welcome
This guy's commentry 🔥
4:53 lol gurbanguly would be ecstatic to hear all that although he would not comprehend anything
Nice, I wish I could go there.
As soon as the ice melts I´ll swim over there.
Very well, where are you both from?
APPRECIATED.
Amazing
Awesome 🇵🇰
I can’t help but notice how the Chinese tourists in the background are asking the guide whether they can use a VPN (since everything is banned in Turkmenistan lol)… When you know another language, you’re always distracted trying to understand what people in the background are talking about!
EDIT: Very interesting commentary! I’ve been to Turkmenistan too and am now writing my graduation thesis on Ashgabat (a beautiful city). The description was spot on - socialism (what I described as neo-Sovietism) and nationalism. A little bit of Islam too, but it’s definitely not an extremely relevant part of the national narrative!
the main reason that central Ashgabat is so empty is due to the incredibly high cost of living compared to the salaries
Anyone to blame for this?
It is because of nothing to do there .
❤️
Hi. Do you have restriction for covid there?
they have zero reported covid-19 cases
Beautiful
Omg i just watched a documentary about the country Bhutan i googled the country because i was shocked i never heard of this country. well when i saw the world mapp i saw Turkmenistan and Kirgistand 2 countries i also never heard of before!!! this shocked me because i am very good in geography but i never learned about these 3 countries!! atleast not that i can remember!!! this is so fascinating to me!!! and who lives in those white apartements?? so many but i saw no people! i hope people live there lol or it whould be a waist.
Allah is the center of everything as he is creator of EVERYTHING. Without Allah there is NOTHING.

It is a very poor country with a dictatorial regime and a food ration system.

You are very beautiful and thanks for these Very beautiful images of Asgabat
Were you allowed to drive a car?
How u made it to isolated and least visitet country??
Would someone here recommend travelling to Turkmenistan, especially Ashgabat and the Koped Dag Mountains south of it? Is it possible to hike there?
Do they only drive white cars ?
Where are the people ?
Cmon. You ll face nobody outside during the midday usually due to the weather, and also people are working students are studing. after 6-7 pm you can face real crowd entertaining and resting. Also they visited not central part of the city. (ab. Happiness palace ect)
@@wonderlife830 Turkmenistan presidents fake account
@@youneverknow824 JAJAAHAHAHAAHHAA
@@-VAJRA- 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@wonderlife830 cmon, i could not see a single one person on the street?
😍😉👍🇹🇲
Not out of this world, but of another time not long ago.
This video was so interesting. I’m from Australia and I had never heard of this place. Thank you for educating me!
I hope you are safe
Ashgabat Turkmenistan ♥️🇹🇲
I find the shear lack of people terrifying
I want to visit Türkmenistan!
Where are the rest of the videos? Why did u stop posting, is everything okay?
Like the way you talk !
Did my high school graduation paper on this country in high school. Got an F+ but everyone was amused I got some pictures of this country from this girl who was my neighbor who was born there 🤣
Wow... I've seen a lot of different faces before but Katherine is the sole definition of "exotic"... seriously... wtf? Gorgeous.
Es el primer video que veo de su canal, el análisis que hizo el chico sobre el diseño del país es sin duda una mezcla de socialismo utopico con islam
This is awesome, looks like an alien city
I used to see this wideo when i miss my country
