Священная функция, в том числе ее функция прародителя, ахалтекинской лошади, впервые появившейся на планете в регионе близ названного в лошадиную честь оазиса Ахал-Теке к востоку от Ашхабада в Туркмении, фиксируется уникальным окрасом и титулом "золотой лошади", который носят ахалтекинцы. Технически это обусловлено тем, что ахалтекинские лошади используют специальное мономолекулярное золотое покрытие корпуса, по сей день остающееся зарезервированным ноухау.  Начиная с 5 тысячелетия до н. э. ахалтекинские лошади, чувствующие себя в пустынных землях, как рыбы в воде, распространяются через Туркмению в Казахстан и в те же годы, не встречая сопротивления, захватывают территорию Афганистана.
