The Secret of Eleke Sazy. The greatest discovery of Kazakh archaeologists by Andy B on Thursday, 14 October 2021
(User Info | Send a Message)
Enigma of the great steppe #13
The Eleke Sazy complex is one of the most recent discoveries in the world of archeology in Kazakhstan. It is located in the mountains of Tarbagatai at an altitude of 1,500 meters above sea level. Hidden from prying eyes, protected by nature itself, for a long time the tract remained out of sight of scientists. Although rumors that once royal people had been buried here were circulated among the people. Someone said that the hills there are ancient mounds. Others argued - in the Shiliktinsky Valley next door - just 100 kilometers in a straight line, the mounds would be higher. And then just embankments, if it’s the grave, then ordinary people. But it was not possible to check the version. And only in 2011, archaeologists seriously drew attention to the plateau lost in the mountains. You will learn more about this in this programme!

Ancient Genomes Trace the Origin and Decline of the Scythians by Andy B on Thursday, 14 October 2021
(User Info | Send a Message)
Generally thought of as fierce horse-warriors, the Scythians were a multitude of Iron Age cultures who ruled the Eurasian steppe, playing a major role in Eurasian history. A new study published in Science Advances analyzes genome-wide data for 111 ancient individuals spanning the Central Asian Steppe from the first millennia BCE and CE. The results reveal new insights into the genetic events associated with the origins, development and decline of the steppe’s legendary Scythians.

Because of their interactions and conflicts with the major contemporaneous civilizations of Eurasia, the Scythians enjoy a legendary status in historiography and popular culture. The Scythians had major influences on the cultures of their powerful neighbors, spreading new technologies such as saddles and other improvements for horse riding. The ancient Greek, Roman, Persian and Chinese empires all left a multitude of sources describing, from their perspectives, the customs and practices of the feared horse warriors that came from the interior lands of Eurasia.

Still, despite evidence from external sources, little is known about Scythian history. Without a written language or direct sources, the language or languages they spoke, where they came from and the extent to which the various cultures spread across such a huge area were in fact related to one another, remain unclear.

(User Info | Send a Message)
Beyond Time - History of the Eleke Sazy Valley, Qazaq TV

In this Beyond time program, we will embark on a journey of three thousand years. The Eleke Sazy valley keeps the secrets of the Saka tribes and rituals of the ancient Turks that lived in the 8th century BC and the Berel valley at the turn of two eras became a key point in the process of the great migration of peoples, which changed the history of the continent. Research by Kazakhstani archaeologists is the key to understanding the essence of the world.
