According to one of the legends, the Valley of Balls is a war that came to Mangystau to conquer this territory and defeat the local population. According to legend, the wars did not succeed in doing this, the local residents had friends, local gods who guarded these places. When the enemy came, the gods bestowed strength on the local inhabitants of the nomads, and the nomads, together with the gods, turned the enemies into round stones that are strewn with the Tuzbair plateau. So the enemy was defeated, and the locals continued to live in peace and tranquility.
