Butentau is an archaeological site in the Daşoguz region of Turkmenistan.[1][2]

Sites

Ibrahim Sultan Shrine

Three domed mausoleum, which were reconstructed by the Turkmen Government, stand atop an escarpment and function as a local shrine.[1] They are believed to house the remains of Ibrahmin Sultan —a fakir from Arab— and his relatives, who had migrated to Butentau, to help the local people.[1]

Behind the mausoleum lies a graveyard, where one "Shibli Baba"Шаблон:Efn remains buried along with others.[1]

Cave Settlements

A chain of artificial caves, cut into the soft limestone riff, runs for about two kilometers and numbers into several hundred.[1][3] They were settled in around early medieval times — currently, most are inaccessible without climbing equipment.[1][2]

Ak Kala

A few hundred meters away from the cave-chain, lies the ruined late-medieval city of Adak.[1] The city is roughly square in shape — a wall runs along the entire perimeter, interspersed with five semi-circular towers at each side and a round tower at each corner.[1] In the north of the walled city, another enclosed space is present.[1]
