A kurgan is the name for a barrow, usually a large one, in the area north of the Black Sea. This one is 19 m high and 100 m across, built around 2400 years ago by the Scythian people. It contained two "royal" tombs, the central one being robbed centuries ago. The second burial was found in 1912. It produced many artifacts, mainly gold, and most of these are now in the Hermitage Museum, in Petrograd/St Petersburg.

Solokha is the burial place of Atei’s predecessor, Atei himself was buried in the earliest of the three mounds mentioned. In our opinion it is Chortomlyk. We need to note here that we believe Atei was the tsar who had completed integration of the whole Scythia under the segis of the single central power. It was under his reign that development of the Scythian state reached its acme and the general-Scythian political and administrative centre was made in the Kamenka site on the Dnipro river ( Grakov 1954, 22-24, 57).
