A gold-filled tomb going back 2800 years has been uncovered.
A team of archaeologists in Kazakhstan has made an astonishing discovery by unearthing a 2,800-year-old ancient tomb filled with valuable treasures. This find is being hailed as “unbelievable.”
Located in the remote mountains of Tarbagatai, the archaeological team discovered approximately 3,000 rare gold artifacts within the ancient tomb. This priceless “treasure” is believed to have belonged to noble members of the Sakha family, a Central Asian dynasty that thrived around the 8th century BCE.
Among the handcrafted items, the intricate designs are truly remarkable. They include bell earrings, gold pieces adorned with studs, necklaces, and necklaces embellished with precious stones. The costumes found in the tomb are also intricately decorated with sophisticated techniques using gold beads. These artifacts showcase the exceptional skills and craftsmanship of the jewelers from that era.
Kazakh archaeologists are still hopeful of finding the remains of the tomb’s owner soon, although they have not yet opened the catacombs.
Professor Zainolla Samashev, who led the excavation team, stated, “There are still a large number of valuable items lying in the catacombs. We believe there are the remains of a couple buried here who may have held high positions within the Sakha society or possibly even rulers.”
The plateaus surrounded by dense grasslands were considered the “paradise” of the Sakha kings. While some treasures may have been looted, experts believe that a significant amount of gold still awaits discovery in the future.
“There are many burial mounds in this area, which holds great prospects,” said Yerben Oralbai, a leading archaeologist in Kazakhstan.
It is known that the Sakha people are a branch of the Scythians, a nomadic civilization in Central Asia that extended into Siberia.
