On February 27, 2025, scientific staff of the Republican State Enterprise “State Historical and Cultural Museum-Reserve ‘Botai’” under the Committee of Culture of the Ministry of Culture and Information of the Republic of Kazakhstan — M.S. Makeev and M.M. Kuttybay — organized educational historical events for students of Sh. Ualikhanov Kokshetau University on the topic “Methods of Archaeological Research.”

The program included an exhibition-tour based on materials and artifacts of the Botai culture.

Students were presented with information on the unique results of nearly 40 years of research at the Botai settlement, which proved that at the end of the Stone Age, on the territory of Kazakhstan within the Ural–Irtysh region, the ancient carriers of the Botai culture were the first in the world to domesticate the horse.
