Aktau has a lot of historical places such as Sherkala — a mountain in Mangystau Province. It has been described as looking like a Piala, Yurt or Sphinx with steep south and east sides and a more eroded northern side. The mountain was, according to legends, besieged by the Sheikh of Khoresm Astsyz after he had conquered Mankashlak. After four months of battle, the attackers dug a tunnel sideways through the mountain into the well shaft of the town above and cut off their rope and forced their surrender.
