Currently, it is significant to popularize the cosmological national values of the nomadic Kazakh people, which have arisen under the influence of the forces of nature. The problem of the wide transformation of cosmological ideas, which occupy a special place in the way of life of the Kazakhs into the Kazakh spiritual cultural tends to be demanding. The main purpose of the research is to investigate and analyze the most popular cosmological concepts about the Moon and the Sun among the Kazakh people. This study derives from an in-depth study of cosmological ideas using general scientific and special methods of data collections. However, one of the significant methodologies is a retrospective method, and this study analyzes the elements of ancient history that survived to this day, on the basis of which the revival of events and phenomena in history, was carried out. Results of the study demonstrate that the spiritual values and cultural heritage of the Kazakh nation became the basis for the recognition of the Kazakh worldview through cosmological representations. This study definitively answers the question regarding the concept of "cosmological understanding", which characterizes the national identity of our ancestors that is written on the basis of ethnographic data. It is concluded that with the development of ethnology, spiritual wealth is highly expected to forever remain in the memory of future generations. Further study is needed to identify other factors that could strengthen the effectiveness of these cosmological ideas.
