Aksumbe

Aksumbe lies by the northern spurs of the Karatau, where a medieval settlement and a solitary tower overlooked the approaches from the steppe. Known also as Akbikesh, the tower served as a lookout over the lands of the Dasht-i Kipchak. Sharaf al-Din Ali Yazdi mentioned it in his account of events in 1376, when a fugitive pursued by Timur's forces was captured and executed at Aksumbe.
