On June 6, 2024, specialists of the State Historical and Cultural Museum-Reserve “Botai” organized a lecture and exhibition dedicated to the Botai culture for students of Secondary School No. 18 in the city of Kokshetau. The event was held at the Akmola Regional Museum of History and Local Lore.

The Botai site is of outstanding historical significance. According to scholarly research, its inhabitants were among the earliest representatives of nomadic civilization to domesticate the horse. Approximately six thousand years ago, the Botai people inhabited parts of the vast steppe territories of the Aiyrtau District.

During the event, students were introduced to the field of archaeology, the history and study of the Botai settlement, and the unique artifacts discovered during excavations.
