The Great Steppe gave the world horse breeding and equestrian culture. Over time, people learned to breed horses and control wild herds. In the IV-III millennia BC, the climate of the steppes was more humid, and the vegetation was richer. Botai and other objects of Botai culture for more than 40 years have allowed to make a number of scientific discoveries in the ancient history of Kazakhstan and the Eurasian continent as a whole.

The historical significance of the results of the Botai culture research is as follows:

In the steppes of Northern and Central Kazakhstan, a horse was domesticated for the first time on the planet in the IV thousand BC.

Humanity has moved after several million years of evolution from walking to horse communication. This moment was the beginning of the steppe civilization, a dynamic accelerator of the world historical process.

Botai culture, the culture of the tribes of Northern Kazakhstan of the Eneolithic era. It is located 1.5 km South-East of the village of Nikolskoye, Ayyrtau district, North Kazakhstan region. In 1981-1983, an archaeological expedition of the North Kazakhstan University led by Professor Viktor Seibert discovered the remains of a settlement of 158 structures, with a total area of 15 hectares. During the entire main period of its existence, which lasted for several centuries, at least 250 dwellings were built by ancient people at the Botai settlement. The area of semi-underground dwellings was 20-70 square meters. They were located in groups, often adjacent to each other and, in addition, some were connected by passages. All buildings are divided into residential and utility

A significant place in the settlements was occupied by the manufacture of ceramics.
The dishes were intended for household and household use. The patterns applied to
ceramics mainly consisted of patterns such as hatched triangles, zigzags, Christmas
trees, fish, combs.
