Golden People of Kazakhstan
✨ To date, archeologists have unearthed 8 incredible "Golden people" burials across the country, showcasing the profound cultural and historical legacy of the region. Each discovery offers a unique glimpse into ancient nomadic society, revealing distinct roles from elite warriors to powerful rulers. The very first Golden Man, discovered in 1970 in the Issyk kurgan, was an 18-year-old warrior adorned with over 4,000 brilliant gold pieces sewn onto garments and a high headdress. Later excavations, such as the Sarmatian leader found in Araltyube in 1999 with advanced steel weaponry, and the king found in the Shilikty Valley in 2003—whose attire featured high-quality cast gold inlaid with precious turquoise—solidify Kazakhstan's status as a cradle of brilliant ancient civilization.

In Kazakh tradition, every stage of life had its own name — for girls and boys.
These names showed a person’s social status, maturity, and role in the community.

👶 0–1 year
Children were called shaqalaq or narestе — meaning infant.
The word shaqa likely comes from an ancient Turkic root meaning “small” or “little one.”
Around one year, a child was called sabi — a nursing baby.

👶 Up to 2 years
• Girl — böpe
• Boy — böbek
Sometimes boys were also called böpe, meaning “little baby.”

🧸 2–3 years
Children of both genders were called büldirshin — a toddler discovering the world.

🌱 3–5 years
• Girls — balausa (a growing child; also means “blooming, beautiful”)
• Boys — baldyrğan
(In some regions, this word was used for girls too.)

🎠 6–7 years
Children were called bala or balakai.
Up to this age, boys and girls played together equally.

In Kazakh, «Men seni jaqsy koremin» —
our way of saying “I love you” —
literally means:
“I see you well.”

Many cultures express love through “seeing,” too:
🇩🇪 German — links love with erkennen:
“to recognize, to perceive someone’s essence.”

🇫🇷 French — “Je te vois comme tu es”:
“I see you as you are.”

🇯🇵 Japanese — “分かってるよ”:
“I understand / perceive you,”
often considered more intimate than saying “I love you.”

🇰🇷 Korean -
“I’m seeing you,” meaning I notice you, I’m here with you.

Each language finds its own way to speak about the heart.
But Kazakh remains one of the few where
“I love you” literally means
“I see you well.”

🍂 Autumn magic in Almaty 🍁

When fall arrives, the city turns into a canvas of gold and crimson. The path along the Small Almaty River — our beloved Terenkur — becomes the perfect spot for a peaceful two-hour walk. Locals and visitors gather to enjoy the rustling leaves, crisp mountain air, and soft sunlight filtering through the trees. 🌿
