852                  <p>This was announced by Wang Jianxin, a lead professor at the Silk Road Archaeological Cooperation Research Center at Xi'an's Northwest University, on the sidelines of an international archaeological symposium in Astana.</p>
853<p>According to the Chinese scientist, the Yuezhi were an ancient people who lived in the 2nd century BC and are described in detail in Chinese written sources. After wars with the Xiongnu, part of the Yuezhi left <a href="https://qazinform.com/tag/china_t5478">China</a> and moved into Central Asia &mdash; through Zhetisu toward the Amu Darya basin.</p>

859<p><em>"There is very little information about this people in Western sources. That is 
859why I began studying this 26 years ago. First I looked for their traces in China, and then continued the search in Kazakhstan and other regions of Central Asia,"&nbsp;</em>Wang Jianxin said.</p>

862<p>According to him, researchers have already found traces of ancient populations in <a href="https://qazinform.com/tag/china_t5478">China</a> linked to the Yuezhi. The scholars now plan to compare these finds with <a href="https://qazinform.com/tag/archeology">archaeological</a> sites in Kazakhstan.</p>
863<p>Wang Jianxin suggests that sites linked to the Yuezhi may have existed on the territory of present-day Kazakhstan during the early Iron Age.</p>

867<p>Today, the Chinese and Kazakh researchers are collaborating on two fronts &mdash; in the Altai Mountains area in the East Kazakhstan region and in Kazakhstan's portion of Zhetisu.</p>
868<p>The first stage will be an <a href="https://qazinform.com/tag/archeology">archaeological</a> survey. The scholars intend to look for similarities between sites in Kazakhstan and already-studied objects linked to the Yuezhi in <a href="https://qazinform.com/tag/china_t5478">China</a>.</p>

877<p>According to him, it is possible that some Yuezhi sites in Kazakhstan have already been found and even examined by <a href="https://qazinform.com/tag/archeology">archaeologists</a>, though their link to the Yuezhi has yet to be confirmed.</p>
