Bring it, Shymkent. First up, the tallest monument in Kazakhstan, the mighty Baidibek Bi. Does the grassy mound count in the overall measurement? No worries, Mr Bi doesn't need extra lift. He's honored for uniting various tribes into an identifiable country. Such a gatherer.
Next, a long parade of outdoor miniature models of various highlights in Southern Kazakhstan. Start with some rock formations, move on to some sort of 1970s disco fantasy mosque.
On a more traditional note, a model of an older mosque, classic dome and delicate wood column portico.
Power to the pyramid. A detail from the monument honoring 550 years of the endurance of the Kazakh Khanate. Lost ship. Actually, it's Noah's Ark, somehow stranded on a mountaintop in Southern Kazakhstan. Are you going to say the local bible interpretation is wrong?
Not really a monument, more like site specific art, architecture, engineering, accidental landscaping disguised as nature. Impressive effort.
