I'm looking forward to a more in-depth look at Kazakhstan then, these central Asian countries are really fascinating in every aspect as they're like the "center" of all cultures, so with various influences on top of their own. And as someone said in the comments, mentionneing Khazaria, also the birthplace of all our current "rulers".
For Astana, yes it's really blatant here as it's recent. I can understand your surprise going through all of this and discovering more symbolism with each new building, each new map, each new glance. I think in older times they had to satisfy everyone (clergy, artistocracy) so they had to put a leash on pure masonic symbolism. Looks like they don't really care anymore...
Once again, great work here ! Thanks a lot for putting time into this and sharing it !
