The city of Syganak was one of the main centers of the Kypchak Khanate, the White Horde, the Abulkhair Khanate and the Kazakh Khanate. For this reason, near the city were buried the rulers of the above-mentioned khanates, famous personalities. The huge mausoleums were built for themand the city became one of the sacred and spiritual centers. The mausoleum – a monument of architecture, built on a grave or cemetery. The mausoleums were considered as the afterlife home of the deceased. According to the constructions of the mausoleum it is possible to determine the social level of people, buried in the mausoleum or to which class they belong. The identified burial grounds and the found objects allow to determine the status, level of social development, worldview, lifestyle, traditions, religious beliefs, funeral rite and social relations of ancient people. We set the goal to study, analyze and introduce into scientific circulation the mausoleums № 6 and №7, discovered during archaeological excavations in the medieval city of Syganak in 2022. In addition, we consider it is important to determine the history of the creation and development of mausoleums.
