The Botai settlement is the beginning of great discoveries in the history of mankind.

It was here that the animal that changed the course of history, the horse, was first domesticated.

The ornaments found on the inner walls of the dwellings of the Botai settlement reflect the worldview and spiritual culture of the ancient people. Triangular patterns occupy a special place among them.

According to the researchers, the triangle symbolized harmony between nature, man and the spiritual world, stability of life and protection. It was also associated with the hearth, fire, and the well-being of the family.

The dwellings and their ornaments are mute evidence of the high level of thinking and artistic taste of the ancient inhabitants of Botai.
