Among them is — the ancient city of Suyab, located on the territory of modern Tokmok.As part of the project, historical sites are being monitored: special surveillance cameras have already been installed to help monitor the condition of monuments and ensure their safety. In the future, it is planned to build protective canopies to preserve archaeological sites from flooding, drying out and environmental influences.Today, the university is conducting a 3D scan of a stone slab (stele) discovered on the territory of the Ak-Beshim settlement (Suyab). The artifact preserves ancient Chinese characters from the 7th – 9th centuries. Experts are converting the object into digital format for further study and preservation.Also, joint research is carried out at historical and cultural heritage sites of international significance — Ak-Beshim (Suyab), Krasnaya Rechka (Nevaket) and Burana Tower (Balasagyn).
