"Zhetysu" is literally translated from the Kazakh language as "Seven rivers". This is the most ancient historical and geographical region of the Almaty region which is being studied by Kazakhstani archaeologists. Of particular interest to them is the era of the early nomads. Digging up ancient burial mounds, archaeologists are trying to trace the migration routes of the nomadic tribes of Altai and make an unexpected discovery.
