"The Madiars of the Torghay steppes"
is telling us about the expedition
of the author in northwestern
Kazakhstan, to the virgin steppes
of the Torghay-basin.
Mihály Benkő had the intention
of repeating the long-forgotten
expedition of Tibor Tóth, one-time
director of the anthropological
collection of the hungarian
Natural Museum.
J Mihály Benkő would have liked
to prove the seriousness
of the discovery of Tibor Tóth:

of Torghay: the so-called Sarykopa,
and the people living in that region:
the argyns and the argyn-madlars.
The reader can also have a look

It is especially interesting
to see the eight tombstones
photographed in the cemetery
of the central locality of the
Torghay swamps, in Sagha,

or "Madlar tribe".
This word means "Magyar",
or "Hungarian" both
in Hungarian and Kazakh languages.
