It is located in Ayagoz district of East Kazakhstan region, about 10 km from Tansyk railway station, on the river Ayagoz. The tomb of Kozy Korpesh-Bayan Sulu, which belongs to the ancient Turkic era, is a necropolis of love dedicated to the tragic love of two lovers. It is one of the few “trunks” in Kazakhstan. This song, which is considered to be the oldest in the Kazakh lyric epic, can be considered as an official world that describes the social relations, livelihood, economic basis of nomadic nature of the tribes inhabiting the great steppes before Islam. Variety increases the realism of this song.The monument resembles an arrow of a giant bow, which is tens of kilometers long and ready to shoot. The symbol of some Kazakh tribes is an arrow. The bow-shaped bow occupies about twenty square kilometers. When our ancestors built the necropolis, they came up with a game that it alluded to. It is always known that the arrow hits the enemy. The building material of the mausoleum is flat stones laid in accordance with the pyramidal pattern. On one of the four sides there is a depression due to the lack of symmetry. The mausoleum and Bayan necropolis is a kind of arrow in the Egyptian pyramids.
