Manas Ordo

Talas Region, Kyrgyzstan

Manas Ordo (Kyrgyz and, [mɑnɑs ordó]) is a modern historical park (with a museum) built around Manas's Kümböz (Kyrgyz, [mɑnɑstɯn kymbœzy]), a Karakhanid-era mausoleum most likely built around 1334 thought to be the final resting place of the Kyrgyz epic hero Manas. Among the Kyrgyz, the site has status as a mazar. The mausoleum looks similar to other monuments from the 14th century, with kufic script around the outside edge of the monument.
