KAZAKSTAN AT ANCIENT
TIME.
The majority of the Andronovskaya settlements no
accident were situated on the banks of the
small steppe rivers or brooks, flown down from the mountains.
Next to them the fields and kitchen -gardens were situated in flood-lands
of the rivers, where there was the fertile, wet soil. Grain and
possibly vegetables were grown
there. The cattle-breeding played the important and more essential
role than farming. The food, wool, hide
(leather) ,bone for the odd jobs, were given by
the animals. The pressed dung was used as fuel. The sheep were
big ,the height in the withers was
about 70 cm and the weight was about 50 kgm. There were
three different species of the horses- the work horses,
the heavily-loaded ones and the fast horses in the herds,
pastured in the expanses of
the feather-grass steppes and in the alpine meadows. Having

not been touched, enabling us define the regalia and symbols of power among the ancient nomads. The Issyk hyrgan is a single monument of its kind. The "Issyk chieftine" was buried in gala of ritual attire. He wore a thin, evidently silk shirt, a short coat (kamzol), narrow breeches of red suede and high boats without heels. His heavy belt was composed of east plaques in the shape of a fantastic stag and elks heads. On his head, the chieft ain wore a high conical three-sides hat-hulak. Round his neck he had a gold torque with three loops, its ends fashion in the form of tigers heads. On the finger of his right were two ring: one with a mirror, the other with portrait in profile of a man radiate crown. Near the left shoulder of the deceased lay a symbolic staff with a gold knob and a whip wound with a gold band. On the right fastened a felt red wooden sheath was a sword of the type used by warrios fighting on hors back; on the left, was a iro n dagger in a sheath with plagues in the form of an elk and a horse. Its pommel in the shade of twin-headed griffin is overlaid with gold leaf and the blade is encrusted with plaque depicting various wild animals. The encrustations on the dagger are skilfully executed. The blood groves are overlaid with gold plagues depicting boars, leopards, hares, goats, wolfs, saigaks, djeirans, foxes and snakes following one another.

Tzaili Alatau
We would like to tell you about our mountains - Tzaili Alatau. It is
very nice to be thereat any time. Let us make a short trip there in summer, for example in July. I must say, that in July it is very hot in our places. Let us rise in the mountains 3000 meters high. What a wonderful sight it is in front of your eyes. You see a real winter with snow and ice. The snow is parking and you can't see anything around. You have to put protective spectacles to see the beautiful mountains. You desire singing of joy. But you touch to eternity. We start descending. We go slowly. In front of us there are majestic rock and morines - fragments of bed-rocks that were created with slipping down glaciers. Now we are in the Alpian meadows. How much sweet-scented grass there in summer pastures, agilyau. We have a rest here. We took a photograph the beauty of the nature with our cameras. Then later we'll look at these wonderful pictures at home once more. But now we are opening in this fantastic wonderful world of nature. Let's continue our way again. We are in the cool region of coniferous woods. We are surrounded with blue Tyan-Shan fir-trees that are exceptional in their beauty. We are descending and see leaf - bearing trees and groves. There are many wild apple-trees, and apricot-trees, nuts and etc. We finish our travelling aand now we are in burning summer again.Nehorosheva Valeriya
