While excavating the Tsarsky burial mound no grave was discovered in the burial chamber, it had been plundered in ancient times. However judging by its imposing size there was supposedly buried one of the Spartokids dynasty - the dynasty of the Bosphorus Tsars.
It's much bigger than Melek-Chesmensky burial mound: with a height of 17 meters and diameter of 80 meters. The wonderful subbarrow graves of Pantikapey are monuments of world significance. Their strict and refined proportions testify of the outstanding skill of the first class Bosphor's master craftsmen.
