Scientists from Six Countries to Study Golden Horde History

Scientists from six countries have agreed to jointly study the steppe civilization, in particular the history of the Golden Horde and the Ulus of Jochi, according to Khabar 24. An agreement to create a scientific consortium was signed in Almaty. The academies of sciences of Kazakhstan, Türkiye, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Azerbaijan and Mongolia are members.

Under the agreement, specialists will carry out joint archaeological expeditions, work with manuscripts and prepare scientific publications. All historical materials on the topic are planned to be digitized and compiled in a single registry. The cooperation plan is designed for five years.

Akylbek Kurishbaev, president of the National Academy of Sciences of Kazakhstan, said it is now very important to combine these unique historical data in digital format. The academy is negotiating with Chinese academicians and wants to use a digital module developed at Fudan University. A second option under consideration is Harvard University.
