Epidemic Sound

Ashgabat, the capital of Turkmenistan, might be the strangest city on Earth. Built almost entirely of white marble, obsessively planned, and eerily empty, Ashgabat feels less like a living city and more like a carefully maintained sci-fi movie set. Why is every building in Ashgabat white? Why are only white cars allowed? Where are all the people? And why is this country so obsessed with Guinness World Records? In this video, I walk through the streets of Turkmenistan’s capital to show you what it's actually like visiting one of the world’s strangest and most isolated countries.
