The Golden Man!
One
of the great archeological finds of the 20th century,
excavated in Issyk Kurgan, 70 kilometers from
Almaty, Kazakhstan, the Golden Man is an “Issyk”
chieftain buried in a suit made of more than 4000
intricately decorated and fitted gold pieces.
With the latest research dating the time of his
burial to the 5th century BC, the Golden Man is
a symbol of Kazakhstan’s heritage, strength
and independence. Deemed to fragile to display,
it is stored deep in the vaults of The National
Bank of Kazakhstan, heavily guarded, safe and
secure.
Though rarely exhibited to the public, the Golden
Man was included in the “Of Gold and Grass”
exhibition currently touring the United States,
where it is the crowning jewel of the exhibition.
Only a company with a proven track record of professionalism,
commitment and success could be entrusted with
the task of transporting this priceless artifact:
Globalink.
Carefully and meticulously packed by our skilled
staff, who addressed every minute detail, the
Golden Man and other precious artifacts was shipped
to San Francisco with the utmost care and security.
The exhibition, which will be hosted by some of
the most prestigious museums across the United
States, will then travel across the Atlantic for
display in the United Kingdom in the spring of
2007 and then to Spain in the summer of 2007.
Once the exhibition ends, the return of these
national treasures to Kazakhstan has also been
entrusted to Globalink.
Globalink is proud and honored to be involved
in making it possible for the world to glimpse
the uniqueness of the Kazakh people's cultural
heritage. Being entrusted with the pride of a
nation is a sensitive and complex task, one that
leaves no room for error or oversight. Therefore
is it any wonder that Globalink is the mover of
choice for museums in Kazakhstan and The CIS?
