Re: Solokha Kurgan by davidmorgan on Friday, 12 June 2015

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).
