The first and oldest (5,000-year-old) kurgan-style tomb that has been discovered and completely unearthed in Turkey. Excavations by the Istanbul Archaeology Museum in Istanbul’s Silivri district have unearthed a “kurgan-style” tomb, which officials have already heralded as the biggest archaeological discovery of the year.
A kurgan is a circular burial mound constructed over a pit grave that often contains grave vessels, weapons and the bodies of horses as well as a single human body. The type of tomb was originally used on the Russian steppes but later spread to eastern, central and northern Europe in the 3rd millennium B.C. The type of grave was holy in Turkic and Altay culture.
The skeleton of a person who was believed to have been an important warrior was found inside the tomb alongside an arrowhead.
