Ancient kurgan (burial mound, sacred hill)

Excavations in the Novooleksandrivka area began in early April 2021 and dozens of multi-layered graves have been discovered in the mound… from the Bronze Age, the Scythian era and the Middle Ages.

This kurgan appeared about 5,000 years ago; it is 7.5 metres high and 50 metres wide, and was probably used as a common burial place for over a thousand years.

A week after the excavations began, archaeologists uncovered skeletons buried in eleven alcoves, broken jugs and monumental boulders encircling the area. Experts and historians presume that chieftains and shamans were buried in this hill.
