Sewerage facility in Astanailluminates in Georgia
In a stunning social media post that left many scratching their heads, a Kazakh tourist unearthed a peculiar discovery during her vacation in Batumi - a manhole cover emblazoned with "Astana Sewage 2010."
As she wandered the city streets, this tourist stumbled upon a piece of Kazakhstan's sewage infrastructure far from home. She uploaded a photo and captioned it, "How on earth did a manhole cover from Astana end up in Batumi? I was astonished when I saw it."
It seems this puzzle isn't a recent phenomenon. In 2018, similar reports surfaced, leaving the company "Astana Su Arnas" scrambling to investigate the mystery. However, according to a user on the social media platform Threads, the case remains unsolved.
The internet, ever the humorist, didn't disappoint. Jokes and creative comments swarmed in:
"Well, I booked my tickets to Georgia. I could've just made a subterranean expedition instead!"
"Even the manhole covers from Kazakhstan have been to Georgia, and you haven't."
"Perhaps it's a shortcut straight from Kazakhstan to Georgia."
"It's teleportation, no question about it."
"I've seen an Almaty manhole in Astana, so they've got their own geography there."
"Kudos to the tourist for spotting the manhole like that!"
"It's crying out for adventure."
Sewage infrastructure has never looked trendier. One more Kazakh even found a manhole cover from Moscow in Almaty and shared the find on Threads.
Liter.kz waits with bated breath for the city administration to shed some light on the Astana manhole's peculiar journey to Georgia.
The internet, in typical fashion, has combined pop-culture references with the uncanny discovery of a Kazakh manhole cover in Batumi. Social media users have been entertaining each other with witty comments, such as joking about the manhole cover serving as a shortcut or suggesting it's proof of teleportation. Meanwhile, threads discussing the peculiar journey of the Astana manhole continue, reflecting the intersection of entertainment and social-media-driven pop-culture.
