The Upper Tobol region is a place in the steppe belt of Eurasia, where dozens of historical and archaeological monuments are compactly located on a relatively small territory, which are of interest not only in historical, scientific, but also in cultural, educational, and tourist terms.
The study of the ancient archaeological sites of Kazakhstan proves that our country was the center of vivid historical processes, ancient cultural communications, globalization of ideas, one of the centers of the formation of the subsequent Indo-European world and the ancestor of the world of steppe nomadic cultures.
The popularization of scientific knowledge is especially necessary in the current situation of the decline of the popular science sphere. And as part of the scientific and educational movement, we have been holding our International Festival of Ancient Technologies and Cultural Communication named after Thor Heyerdahl „Desht-Thor“.
