As always, this event brought together representatives from academia, museums and cultural institutions, media representatives, and enthusiasts with a passion for Kazakhstan's rich historical heritage. In his welcoming address, the Ambassador of Kazakhstan, H.E. Nurlan Onzhanov, emphasized the importance of the Great Steppe as one of the key regions in the emergence and development of early Eurasian civilization. Archaeological research provides a deeper understanding of historical processes while simultaneously revealing the richness of the cultural heritage of the peoples who inhabited the steppe over many centuries. Among the discoveries of recent decades are the world-famous "Golden Man" from the Issyk Kurgan, the Berel Kurgans with their spectacular burial discoveries, and numerous other finds and monuments that testify to the advanced level of development achieved by early nomadic societies. The most significant archaeological treasures of Scythian gold were found among the Saka, an eastern branch of the Scythians. Particularly impressive are the exceptional craftsmanship and the highly advanced techniques of goldsmithing. As early as 2007, the Martin-Gropius-Bau hosted an exhibition featuring spectacular discoveries from the Scythian and Saka princely burial mounds of Eurasia. Excavations and research continue, and through international cooperation there will undoubtedly be further remarkable discoveries that reveal the legacy of the Great Steppe.
