Rescue what is still there to be rescued – that is the Kazakh-Russian’s team motto. The dry and dusty Kazakh Steppe, where people once settled, has already been visited by grave robbers. The plundering of the graves is terrible enough, but the destruction of the stone complexes causes the permanent loss of a source for past life exploration. However, there are still remnants of past forms of human life that have not yet been discovered by the thiefs. Aerial views and pictures reveal settlement structures under the dry and hard soil of the Steppe. For the archeologists, this means the start of a digging season. Wind, water and gold also play a role in the discoveries; as what they nowadays find is fascinating.
