After travelling 100 kms
00:27.4

02:49.4
I am in a place called Kongirat.
02:49.5
02:54.3
From here I have to travel 97km to reach Muynak
02:54.4
02:59.2
It will take around 2 to 3 hours for me
02:59.3
03:04.1
I am here to have my meal. I have already placed my order.

04:56.8
This city is very different
04:56.9
05:01.7
They have dropped me near the hostel
05:01.8
05:06.6
I am heading to the hostel in the opposite side
05:06.7
05:11.5
I don't know where other hostels are
05:21.4
05:26.2
Finally, I have booked the room. I have told you about Aral sea already
05:26.3
05:31.1
To reach that place
05:31.2
05:36.0
we can't go buy bus, hitchhiking or auto
05:36.1
05:40.9
We need to take a four wheel drive
05:41.0
05:45.8
I have to book that vehicle here
05:45.9
05:50.7
It is around $80 to $120 here.
05:50.8
05:55.6
I have booked for the package too. It costed around $100 for me
05:55.7
06:00.5
We will get the drive in the morning and we'll explore more
06:00.6
06:05.4
I will also tell you the history of it
06:10.4
06:15.2
Good morning guys. I am in Muynak today
06:15.3
06:20.1
This place is very popular
06:20.2
06:25.0
Once it was populous but now it has become like a ghost town
06:25.1
06:29.9
I am going to a place called Aral Sea now
06:30.0
06:34.8
The sea is completely drained now. I will tell you reasons
06:34.9
06:39.7
We'll look at all that in live
06:39.8
06:44.6
We are going to travel from 9am to 5pm
06:44.7
06:49.5
That is today's plan
06:49.6
06:54.4
We are going to travel in car in the sea area
06:54.5
06:59.3
We'll also get some eateries on the way
06:59.4
07:04.2
There are no hotels there nearby as it is the sea
07:04.3
07:09.1
We'll get here and then travel
08:04.2
08:09.0
Look at that. See how many ships are stranded here
08:18.9
08:23.7
What you are seeing now
08:23.8
08:28.6
are the rusted ships.
08:28.7
08:33.5
There are hundred ships here, stranded without water
08:33.6
08:38.4
Out of the 100 only 10 is here
08:38.5
08:43.3
They have taken the parts of the other ships
08:43.4
08:48.2
You can see the state of the ships
08:48.3
08:53.1
It is completely rusted.
08:53.2
08:58.0
This is the state of Aral sea now
08:58.1
09:02.9
The sea has gone back beyond 50kms
09:03.0
09:07.8
We are about to go there to see that now
09:07.9
09:12.7
If you wish to know what happened to this sea
09:12.8
09:17.6
something called American civil war happened
09:17.7
09:22.5
South America is well known for cotton
09:22.6
09:27.4
They export it to Europe
09:27.5
09:32.3
When American civil war happened, the market crashed
09:32.4
09:37.2
Europeans didn't get cotton. So, they alternated it with Uzbekistan
09:37.3
09:42.1
The price was much cheaper here
09:42.2
09:47.0
It was also lower than the soviet union
09:47.1
09:51.9
So, Americans when reselling,
09:52.0
09:56.8
Europeans didn't buy the product. They started buying in Uzbekistan
09:56.9
10:01.7
So, America drafted a plan
10:01.8
10:06.6
Aral sea is the primary water source of Uzbekistan
10:06.7
10:11.5
So, they planned to distraught this sea to cut down water supply to Uzbekistan
10:11.6
10:16.4
So, they won't be able to grow cotton
10:16.5
10:21.3
They combined with other nations
10:21.4
10:26.2
to block the water source
10:26.3
10:31.1
that is coming to the Aral Sea
10:31.2
10:36.0
America did this, So, now
10:36.1
10:40.9
The sea level withdrew beyond 100 kms itseems
10:41.0
10:45.8
That is the reason
10:45.9
10:50.7
Now, it is decided
10:50.8
10:55.6
that if Uzbekistan stops cotton production, America is ready to release the water
10:55.7
11:00.5
But Uzbekistan doesn't want to stop the production of cotton
11:00.6
11:05.4
They are let this sea diminsh
11:05.5
11:10.3
They have no other options too. The industry of cotton is huge here
11:10.4
11:15.2
We are here in Muynak
11:15.3
11:20.1
This place is very nearby. If you come you can see these ships here
11:20.2
11:25.0
We are going to
11:25.1
11:29.9
the seashore of the sea which is 100 km far
11:30.0
11:34.8
We'll see it all in live
11:34.9
11:39.7
We will travel 100 kms. It would take four hours itseems
11:39.8
11:44.6
It will be hard itseems. Come let's go.
11:44.7
11:49.5
Live in tamil, I will show you guys everything.
11:49.6
11:54.4
Come, let's go.
12:39.8
12:44.6
You can see the seashells below. All these were the sea area
12:44.7
12:49.5
You can see here
12:54.5
12:59.3
All of these were the sea area
13:23.9
13:28.7
We have come to the place now. I don't know whether you'll believe it.
13:28.8
13:33.6
I am in greater height now. You can see the sea level here
13:33.7
13:38.5
This place was also a previous sea area
13:38.6
13:43.4
You can see the sea shells and soil
13:43.5
13:48.3
When we turn around
13:48.4
13:53.2
You can see the sea here
13:53.3
13:58.1
See how low the shore line is
13:58.2
14:03.0
See the last line. It is completely draining
14:03.1
14:07.9
All the way
14:08.0
14:12.8
Till there, there was the sea
14:12.9
14:17.7
This vast sea place
14:17.8
14:22.6
has been destroyed to disrupt the economy
14:22.7
14:27.5
It is very interesting. We'll go near the sea and see
14:27.6
14:32.4
We'll go there
14:32.5
14:37.3
The whole place was the sea area
15:39.4
15:44.2
This is kept here to check the direction of the wind
16:26.9
16:31.7
This is Aral sea. The vast sea has become very small now
16:31.8
16:36.6
This was one of the largest inland sea in the world
16:36.7
16:41.5
But, now the state of it is very bad
16:41.6
16:46.4
Uzbekistan cotton production must stop to save this sea
16:46.5
16:51.3
But, this is their major economy
16:51.4
16:56.2
They couldn't stop the production of cotton, So the sea is still in the bad state
17:06.1
17:10.9
Scientists say this sea will totally dry up by 2025
17:11.0
17:15.8
The soil here is already becoming toxic
17:15.9
17:20.7
See how saline it has become
17:20.8
17:25.6
It is disrupting a lot of natural process here
17:25.7
17:30.5
The locals here
17:30.6
17:35.4
have high rate of cancer because of the
17:35.5
17:40.3
presence of this sea's condition.
17:40.4
17:45.2
The only way to get back Aral sea is to stop cotton production here
17:45.3
17:50.1
Then only they can reduce cancer.
17:50.2
17:55.0
Due to chemical content, the atmosphere is also very bad
17:55.1
17:59.9
That is why they have high cancer and aneamia here
18:00.0
18:04.8
The main thing I noticed here
18:04.9
18:09.7
is the smell of this sea
18:09.8
18:14.6
It smells so bad and fishy
18:14.7
18:19.5
The smell is also very saline
18:19.6
18:24.4
Since the sea is draining, its salinity has become high and the fishes are dead
18:24.5
18:29.3
You can see when you come here
18:29.4
18:34.2
The foam of the sea is also very high
18:34.3
18:39.1
You can see how dirty the sea is
18:39.2
18:44.0
There are people taking bath here
18:44.1
18:48.9
There were few there and they left now
18:49.0
18:53.8
You can also see the rate of foam.
18:53.9
18:58.7
I have never such anywhere
18:58.8
19:03.6
The state of it is worse. We've come to the shoreline finally
19:03.7
19:08.5
We have also seen the sea water
19:08.6
19:13.4
Hearing all these I feel so sad
19:13.5
19:18.3
Humans are destroying the sea. I love oceans and I have camped near many
19:18.4
19:23.2
I have never seen such a bad sea
19:23.3
19:28.1
It makes me worried
19:28.2
19:33.0
I don't know why no one took actions
19:33.1
19:37.9
Things brings more knowledge of world events to me
19:38.0
19:42.8
I am so shocked
19:42.9
19:47.7
Tell me your thoughts in the comments
19:47.8

20:02.5
20:07.3

20:07.4
20:12.2
I came now and saw. Will see you in the next video.
