John Delaney: Golden Eagle Nomads
"Nobody knows exactly when the Kazakhs tamed the Golden Eagle of Central Asia.
Herodotus refers to nomadic eagle hunters in 5th Century B.C. Marco Polo wrote about the Kazakhs in his "Travels" account. The name "Kazakh" dates as far back as the 13th century, meaning "independent", "free" and "nomadic", terms that perfectly define this legendary people, so famous for their pride and skills on the battlefield."—John Delaney
