In Istanbul, within the framework of the 17th International Istanbul Scientific Studies Congress, a presentation was delivered on the topic “ Sign system in the cultures of the Early Iron Age of the Kazakh Altai.”
The report highlighted the distinctive features of the sign system found on Early Iron Age archaeological sites in the Kazakh Altai, as well as the methods and results of its study from archaeological and semiotic perspectives. The main objective of the research program is to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the sign system of the ancient nomads and to interpret it as an integral component of the cultural heritage of the Central Eurasian region.
In recent years, the Presidents of Turkey and Kazakhstan have attached particular importance to strengthening cooperation in the fields of history, culture, and science. The exchange of information on ongoing scientific projects contributes to the deepening of cultural and academic ties between the two countries.
The ancient history of the Altai region, rightfully regarded as the “Golden Cradle of the Turkic World,” represents a shared historical and cultural heritage of the entire Turkic community. From this perspective, the presented report is significant not only as an international validation of the research program’s results, but also as a contribution to the development of scientific and cultural cooperation between Kazakhstan and Turkey.
