Today we remember Viktor Fedorovich Seibert, an outstanding scientist whose name is forever associated with the history of archeology in Kazakhstan.

He devoted his whole life to the study of antiquities, discovering to the world a unique monument of the Botai culture. Thanks to his discoveries, mankind learned about the Botai culture and the first steps of man towards the domestication of the horse. His scientific works have become not only the property of Kazakhstan, but also a worldwide contribution to history.

Viktor Fedorovich was not only a researcher, but also a teacher who educated a whole generation of archaeologists. He conveyed knowledge, experience and love for the earth, its culture and heritage.

Today, on his birthday, we bow our heads in gratitude to his memory. His name and work continue to live on, and his contribution will forever remain a part of the history of our country.
