Ustyurt Plateau is a desert-like tableland, a bridge connecting Europe and Asia. It is extremely beautiful in its austerity. The ancient tribes of the Massageteans who controlled the plateau once built Alan-Kala Fortress there; its walls were 4 meters in height and 2 meters in width.
Ustyurt Plateau was originally part of the bottom of the prehistoric ocean, which had left millions of years ago. That is why the stones Massageteans used to build Alan-Kala Fortress have myriads of small shells dating back to the times of the ocean. Although the walls of the fortress have been largely destroyed, their lonely ruins still stand in the stone desert of the plateau like a monument to a powerful civilization of antiquity.
