History
Scientists believe that originally Koy-Krilgankala was conceived as a sacred building used for astronomical observations. It may have been dedicated to the star Fomalhaut.Early Koy-Krilgan-kala (IV–III centuries B.C.) was characterized by its monumentality, especially that of the central building, sophisticated defensive system and the presence of large storerooms. Food supplies were kept in grain pits or hums and sometimes sealed. Unfortunately, the rooms were not preserved through the ages.
