20 july, 2023
Archaeologists led by Professor, Doctor of Historical Sciences Abdesh Toleubaev during excavations in 2003 discovered an ancient artifact in the area of the Shilikta plain of the East Kazakhstan region. The find is dated to the 7th-8th centuries BC. Clothing made of gold belonged to a person of high social status - presumably a khan. Among the ancient peoples, gold symbolized power and eternal life. In the understanding of the Saks, the eternal, timeless golden substance existed as a symbol of eternity. Hence the name - "Golden Man".
Kazakh scientists opened the veil of ancient culture with priceless exhibits found on the territory of the country. Thus, three “golden men” were discovered in the Kazakh steppes. The third "Golden Man" was found and glorified to the world by professor, archaeologist, teacher Abdesh Tashkenuly Toleubaev.
Today, the main goal is to educate the younger generation in the spirit of the inauguration of national culture, literature, history, language and mentality. The study of the worldview, customs and contribution of our ancestors to world civilization should constitute the identity of the nation. In the land of the Great Steppe, there is a huge number of unsolved secrets, unexplored historical data.
We invite you to the Al-Farabi KazNU Museum to see a copy of the historical relic of the Great Steppe!
