The lost city of Sauran refers to an ancient settlement located in present-day Kazakhstan. Sauran was a significant city during the medieval period, known for its strategic location along the Silk Road, the ancient trade route connecting the East and West.
The city was founded around the 10th century and reached its peak during the 13th and 14th centuries under the rule of the Mongol Empire. Sauran served as a major trading hub and played a crucial role in the economic and cultural exchange between Europe and Asia.
However, by the 16th century, Sauran began to decline due to various factors, including shifts in trade routes and political instability in the region. The city was eventually abandoned, and today, only ruins remain at the site.
Archaeological excavations have been conducted at Sauran, revealing insights into its history and architecture. The site is now a popular destination for tourists and researchers interested in exploring the ancient Silk Road and the history of Central Asia
