Culture of the Great Steppe

Kazakhstan is located in the heart of Eurasia - at the intersection of key transportation routes. For millennia, the country's territory has served as a connecting bridge between the East and the West. Its strategic position has facilitated not only the active growth of trade but also the exchange of cultural and scientific achievements. The Great Silk Road passed through the lands of modern Kazakhstan. Caravans transported furs, gold, spices, and silk. Since ancient times, the vast steppes have united peoples and preserved many valuable artifacts. The word of Turkic origin 'Kazakh' means 'Free man,' and Kazakhstan is a country historically inhabited by freedom-loving nomads. At various stages of history, unique civilizations arose and developed here, and their heir is the modern state with a rich past and a multicultural heritage
