* "Evidence of Ancient Assyrian Church Discovered in Kazakhstan" (2016-10-05, astanatimes.com) [archive.is/rUzQk]. The discovery is the first archaeological evidence of a Christian community in Kazakhstan, said Tom Davis, archaeology and biblical backgrounds professor and Archaeology Department Chairman at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas. It supports the understanding of ancient Kazakhstan as a multi-cultural centre between East and West. The findings show the country was home for Muslims, Buddhists and Christians who lived among the local herdsmen and nomadic tribes, according to aina.org.
The Kazakh government is very proud of its multi-cultural history and established the Centre for Cultural Rapprochement under Karl Baipakov, the state’s leading archaeologist and a world-renowned expert on the Silk Road. The centre works on the varied cultural strains in Kazakhstan’s history and supports foreign archaeologists.
