Abstract

The purpose of this article is to study symbolism of the camel that existed among the ancient nomads of Central Asia, example of Kazakh culture. The authors, studying the evolution of the multi-valued image of a camel from the pantheon of sacred animals of the Turkic-Mongolian world, try to consider it as one zoological personification of the picture of the world of ancient Kazakhs, as one of the elements of the zoomorphic code of Kazakh culture. In present Kazakh culture, the sacred meaning of the camel is lost, but people still love and believes in camel’s unconscious faith power.
