ENU Professor Koishygara Salgarauly has published another book
The Eurasian National University hosted an International Scientific and Practical Conference "Steppe Civilization: History, Culture, Science". During the meeting, two books by the famous Turkologist, Professor Koishygara Salgarauly "The Long Way Taken by Mankind" were presented.
The conference was dedicated to the 85th anniversary of the famous Turkologist, Professor Koishygara Salgarauly. It was attended by well-known public figures, representatives of the intelligentsia and scientists of Turkology. During the meeting, it was noted that the life of the writer-scientist and his work in the development of our country are an example for young people.
ENU Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs Ardak Beisenbai read a congratulatory letter from the Head of State to the outstanding scientist Koishygara Salgarauly.
"Having deeply studied the history of the entire Turkic, including the Kazakh people who lived in the Great Steppe, you have made serious and bold conclusions. You have found new information about our country in ancient foreign records and contributed to the formation of new concepts and views. I wish you to continue to serve as an example for the younger generation and continue to command respect in society," the letter says.
During the conference, the new work of the scientist ЭThe Long Way Taken by Mankind " was presented. The new edition is the product of a 40-year search for the outstanding writer. The author analyzed historical, linguistic and ancient written data in the mythology of the peoples of the world related to the history of the ancestors of the Turkic-speaking peoples, combined with the achievements of modern archaeology, linguistics, genetics, and historical sciences. As a result, the book presents new judgments.
"Initially, I hoped to quickly find answers to many questions about who we are, where we came from, how we came, but this did not happen. Neither in the academic works published by special research institutes, nor in the studies of individual historians, nor in textbooks, did I find what I was looking for. Therefore, I had to start this myself, and this book is the fruit of my searches," the writer-scientist Koishygara Salgarauly concluded.
A book exhibition of the famous scientist was organized at the conference. Representatives of the intelligentsia noted that Koishygara Salgarauly’s research related to history begins with the 1986 novel-essay "The Golden Root".
"Koishygara Salgarauly is a man who discovered a golden treasure and reached the golden root of the Kazakh history," Kazybek Issa, deputy of the Majilis of the Parliament of the Republic of Kazakhstan said.
"Koishygara Salgarauly has studied the history of the Turkic peoples for 40 years. He has published widely known scientific works in the field of Turkology. Especially great attention was drawn to the novels-essays "Altyn Tamyr", "Kombe", "Kazaktyn Kily Tarikhy", "Kazaktar", written on historical subjects, both in genre specificity and in cognitive content," Dikhan Kamzabekuly, General Director of the “ Kazakh Gazetter” LLP said.
The outstanding scientist Koishygara Salgarauly was awarded the title of "Honorary Professor" of the L. N. Gumilyov Eurasian National University and the highest award – the Kultegin medal.
