Round Barrow(s) in Ukraine
The locals call this burial mound “Tolstoi's Grave”. It is located about 10 km away from the famous Chertomlyk-Kurgan.
This burial mound was discovered 1964. In 1971, the Kurgan was completely removed from 9m height and approx. 70m diameter. Beneath the mound, the excavators found two chambers. In them were buried a King, a Queen and an about 2 years old child, probably their son. The main chamber was robbed out. The robbers, however, did not reach the famous pectoral, for a few centimetres, in the Queen’s chamber.
On the basis of the amphores which were broken during the funeral ceremony, it was possible to ascertain that the “King” was buried at the latest in the middle of the 4th century BC; the “Queen” and the “Prince” shortly afterwards.
