ASTANA, Architecture, Myth & Destiny

This book lays out a foundation myth encoded into the breathtaking architecture of Astana, the capital city of Kazakhstan. An omnibus of folk epic, archaeological research, and code-breaking symbolism, Astana advances challenging ideas and offers a wealth of fresh insights into the hidden complexities embedded deep within one of the most remarkable cities on Earth. It shows that Kazakhstan’s destiny as a harbinger of peace and a centre of stability, adaptability, and security in the world, is part of a pan-national epic concealed in the heart of Central Asia. This book provides a unifying opus of human, cultural, and religious connectedness and reveals Kazakhstan’s shimmering new capital to be more than a symbolic statement marking the birth of a new nation – it instead provides an architectural roadmap for the peaceful destiny of the world. Veiled within the pages of the book is the Astana Challenge, an enigma of secrets and mysteries that, when solved, reveals a hidden message. The first person, or group of persons, to decipher its exact wording will win an all-expense paid luxury vacation to Astana valued at $30,000.
