The settlement of Zhankent or Yangikent was the center of so-called “swamp settlement” situated on the territory of now dry part of Aral Sea near modern city of Kazalinsk. In X century, Ibn Hawqal identifies the city of Yangikent as a capital of Oghuz state and as the biggest settlement on the territory of lower Syrdarya of that period. Strategic disposition of the city, close to some sedentary oasis of Central Asia, explains the decision to establish there the capital of Oghuz rulers. The territory of the settlement had almost rectangular form and an elevated central area of 100x100 meters and was surrounded by a wall that now has about 8 meters.

Zhankent或Yangikent是“沼泽定居点”的中心，位于现代城市Kazalinsk附近现在咸海已经干涸的土地上。 在十世纪，Ibn Hawqal将Yangikent市确定为Oghuz州的首府，并成为该时期Syrdarya地区最大的定居点。 这个城市的战略性处置，靠近中亚的一些绿洲定居点，解释了在那里设立奥古兹统治者首都的原因。 该定居点的领土几乎呈矩形，中央区域高度为100x100米，周围有一堵墙，现在大约有8米。

占肯特古城遗址（一至十八世纪）

该遗址位于卡扎雷（Kazalinsk）市西南20公里处，距离扎肯特村（古称Urkendeu）以南500米。其年代可追溯至公元前1世纪至18世纪。

这个古老的定居点呈375х225米的形状。城堡的尺寸为100х100米，高度为7-8米。城市遗留下来的考古遗迹包括连接东西墙大门的主要街道。1986年，科学考古队发现了位于古代定居点北端的Myntobe墓地，该墓地可追溯到公元前一世纪至公元十八世纪，包含数百个墓葬。这里的人们从公元前一世纪至十八世纪被埋葬。2006年开始的最新考古研究在shakhristan的领土上发现了十二至十三世纪的街道和房屋。在一个房间内发现了一个十一至十二世纪的异教徒Oguz祭坛，其上有羊头形状的“protoms”。

关于占肯特城的第一批书面资料是X-XI世纪阿拉伯和波斯历史学家和旅行者的文本。在接下来的六个世纪里，这座城市一直出现在阿拉伯和波斯的历史资料中。在那之后，占肯特（也称为扬吉肯特）不仅是乌古斯国的首都，也是其统治者“亚布古”的住所，以及锡尔河中游最大的要塞和贸易中心。这一角色的形成得益于其位于连接哈萨克斯坦中部草原地区与中亚和中东，以及花拉子模、咸海、高加索和地中海地区的走廊中的地理位置。在XVII-XVIII世纪，这座城市是哈萨克汗国的首都。

占肯特（Zhankent）古遗址具有国家价值遗址的官方地位。克孜勒奥尔达地区文化、档案和文献部下属的“克孜勒奥尔达地区历史文化遗址保护”国家公共机构负责该遗址的行政管理。

Ancient settlement of Zhankent (I-XVIII centuries)

The component is located 20 km south-west from the city Kazaly (Kazalinsk) and 500 m to the south from the village of Zhankent (ancient name – Urkendeu). It is dated by the period from the I century B.C. to the XVIII century.

The ancient settlement has the shape of 375х225 m in size. The citadel has the size of 100х100 m and the height of 7-8 m. The remained archaeological ruins of the city include the main street connecting the gates on the eastern and western walls. In 1986 the scientific archaeological expedition discovered the burial ground of Myntobe dated by the period from I century BC to the XVIII century AC and consisting of hundreds of burials on the northern end of the ancient settlement. The people here have been buried from the first centuries BC to the XVIII century. The latest archaeological researches started in 2006 discovered the streets and houses of XII-XIII centuries on the territory of shakhristan. A pagan Oguz altar of XI-XII centuries found in one of the rooms had the “protoms” in the form of lamb heads.

The first written sources on the city of Zhankent were the texts of Arabic and Persian historians and travellers in X-XI centuries. Throughout the next six centuries, the city was present in the Arabic and Persian historical sources. After that, Zhankent (also called Yangikent) was not only the capital of Oguz State, but also the residence of their governor “Yabgu" and the largest fortified and trading centre in the middle course of the Syrdarya River. This role of the component is explained by its geographical position in the corridor connecting the steppe area of Central Kazakhstan with Central Asia and the Middle East, on the one hand, and the regions of Khorezm, Aral Sea, Caucasus, and the Mediterranean on the other side. During the XVII-XVIII centuries the city was a residence of the Kazakh khans.

The ancient settlement of Zhankent has the official status of the site of the national value. The State Public Institution for the “Protection of Historical and Cultural Sites of the Kyzylorda Region” of the Department of Culture, Archives and Documentation of the Kyzylorda Region is responsible for the administrative management of the component.
