Korkut, the mythic first shaman of the Great Eurasian Steppe, was doing his best to escape Death throughout his life. He believed that the only way to gain immortality was to overcome gravity. According to legend, the shaman became immortal in the south of the Great Steppe. Since then local people worshipped that place because they believed that Korkut managed to discover the navel of the Earth. later, in the middle of the 20th century, this spot became world-famous as Baikonur, the Soviet Space Station. there, the First Man defied gravity by starting a journey into space in Vostok 1 spacecraft in search of eternal life.
