The Eleke Sazy complex is a recent discoveries in the world of archaeology 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 rumours that once royal people had been buried here circulated among the local people. One of the sites featured in the exhibition Gold of the Great Steppe free exhibition running until the end of January 2022 at the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge.
