Second day

It is a well known fact that West Kazakhstan Region is definitely reach for its historical objects. Especially if we take Aktobe city as a central heart that is full of sacral places.

Today we had a unique opportunity to visit such objects as “Center of the patriotic upbringing named after Aliya Moldagulova”, where we were capable to know more about our Kazakh hero girl, about her feats and braveness during The Eastern Front. This young girl still inspires a young generation to be patriotic, to love your Motherland and never give up. The next location was the “Abat Baitak Memorial”. This place is sacral for a lot of reasons, but the most essential is that this building was constructed especially for the son of the Great Asan Kaigy. He was one of the most respectful, tactful and wise person of the 15th century of Kazakh nation and his son was a “batyr”, which means fearless person. This historical object was named after him for endless courage and patriotic attitude. Also we have visited “Mangilik El Park and Complex”, with a lot of statues for Kazakh heroes of the II World War and special emphasis to the “Kobylandy Batyr mausoleum”, where we have gone the last.

Besides that “Qyz aulie” burial ground and “Qulpy tas” pigeons were especially unique for its decoration with different ornaments and patterns. The last one was designed with arabic signs and symbolic flower, which means tree of life that explains the connection between the past, the present and the future. In this area there were a lot of such pigeons, which were constructed for close relatives and such mystic places and memorials call forth all our patriotic feelings and take back us to our ancestors. To be honest, our students were glad to see historical objects as to know heroes of that time is the step towards our bright future. Next point in the trip was “Kobylandy batyr” mausoleum In the heroic epic and fairy tales of Koblandy, the batyr appears as an invincible warrior. Koblandy batyr did not share his compatriots by clan, but loved and defended all steppe inhabitants. This is exactly what the Kazakh Batyr presented to us. The mausoleum is located near Zhurenkopa area. In the mighty nation Kobylandy Batyr is the bright personality, who fought for our honor and great land.

Due to “Tugan Elge Tagzym” scientific expedition we have been to a lot of sacral places and had a spiritual energy of the Kazakh history.
