Arheolog Zeynolla Samashev:

Bizding qazaq jerinen birne­she "Altyn adam" tabyldy. Solardyng sanynan ózim janyldym. Shyndyghyn ait­qanda, bizden tabylghan "Altyn adamdardyn" kóbi tonalghan. Tek 1969 jyly belgili arheologtar – Kemel Aqyshev pen Bekmúhanbet Núrmúhanbetov Esik qorghany men Eleke saz qorymynan ta­bylghan eki "Altyn adamnyn" zattary tonalmay, býginge býtin ký­yinde jetip otyr.

Mәselen, 1999 jyly Atyrau oblysynda Araltóbe mekeninen "Altyn adam" taptyq. Ol da tonalghan. Onyng rekonstruksiyasyn men jasadym. Eleke sazdan tabylghan er adamnyng bir ayaq kiyiminde jýzdegen birlikti qúraghan altyn bar.

Sosyn "Altyn adam" degen sóz kónilime onsha qona qoymaydy. Múny ghylymy tilde "kiyimderi altynmen әshekeylengen adam" dep jazady. Nemese "altyn kiyingen adam" dey salayyq. Bolmysy bekzat, tekti, minezi jaysan, kózi tiri azamattardy "altyngha" tenesek jarasady.

"Altyn adam" degen sózdi әuelde jurnalister keng qoldandy da, keyin ol el arasyna tez tarady.
