What does the earth beneath our feet conceal? What was Kazakhstan like 250 million years ago? Where was the ancient Tethys Ocean located? What giants once inhabited this land? And what connects the ancient ocean to today’s Caspian Sea?
On August 21, 22, 26, and 28, we invite you to the National Museum of the Republic of Kazakhstan for a special guided tour, «The Lost World of the Great Steppe: From the Ancient Tethys Ocean to the Age of Giants».
The tour will be led by Ruslan Duvanbekov, Leading Researcher, archaeologist, and PhD.
In the Paleontology Hall, you will discover evidence of the distant past and learn how the territory of modern-day Kazakhstan has changed – from the age of ancient seas and dinosaurs to the age of mammoths.
Are you ready to journey back to a time when the history of the Great Steppe was measured not in centuries, but in millions of years?
