The Country You Never Knew Existed - Karakalpakstan Autonomous Republic of Uzbekistan 🇺🇿 

The Karakalpaks are an ethnically diverse Turkic-speaking people who mainly inhabit the isolated delta region of the lower Amu Darya, situated to the south of the Aral Sea. Their exact numbers are unknown but are probably close to 600,000. Their homeland is the Autonomous Republic of Karakalpakstan, formed by the Soviets in 1925. Despite its Autonomous Republic status, Karakalpakstan is effectively little more than just another province within the independent Republic of Uzbekistan, albeit the largest province, accounting for over one third of Uzbekistan's land area. However, most of Karakalpakstan is occupied by barren and inhospitable desert. In the Soviet era its main use was for the production of cotton and the provision of isolated and secret testing sites for chemical and biological weapons. During the past decade or so, sizeable oil and natural gas reserves have been identified under the Ustyurt plateau and the bed of the Aral Sea. The Karakalpaks make up less than a third of the inhabitants of Karakalpakstan, and live alongside large populations of Khivan Uzbeks in the south and Qazaqs in the north, plus some Yomut Turkmen along the western border. The Karakalpaks are one of the poorest ethnic groups within Uzbekistan and they suffer from high unemployment, generally poor living conditions and bad health. In recent decades they have had to contend with the full effects of the desiccation of the Aral Sea and the lower Amu Darya. The desertification of the northern delta has led to an evacuation of its rural population and the growth of the southern urban towns, especially the capital city of Nukus.

Woow, Hi from Karakalpakstan. Welcome to our magnificent and unique country. I've never seen such vlogs about Karakalpakstan especially in English. We highly appreciate that. I believe that this vlog could help the world to know our country better. Thank you for visiting and representing!

Karakalpakstan is beautiful Republic 😍

This is a country I have never heard of, thank you for bringing this up in your Uzbekistan series.

In the USA, what you call the brick bread we call it a loaf of bread. The organ meats are called offal in the English language countries. Great content, David! Really enjoying the different places that not all Travel Tubers go.

This is the first time a video with this title was actually true. I didnt know about this place and I`m visiting Uzbekistan next week.

I haven't been to Karakalpakstan yet, but your video on Nukus was fascinating! I appreciate the insights into the history and culture of the region. I would love to feature lesser-known destinations on my channel in the future, so Karakalpakstan is definitely on my travel list now. Keep up the great work, and safe travels!

Thank you. . We love all the videos. Good works.

Брат молодец!!!

Which camera u use?

dear davud i am a new subscriber.. i like your videos but if i may give some words of advise.. i notice you like to tell people to turn off their music for you, i noticed you have done that many times it's honestly quite rude there are other people in the restaurants eating, i have been watching a lot of your videos and i have noticed you come of as quite demanding and rude at times. even with the tour guide (the girl from Syria) and when people are not happy, you get offended, i don't think you should expect and demand people to always say yes to you, there are many many many, youtubers doing the same videos as you and i don't see them asking people to turn of the music or confuse people who don't speak English, i'm coming from a place of concern for you. my friends unsubscribed, because we have notice how demanding you come off at times. you should watch your videos and do better next time. it's not a good look for you davud.. be kinder.
