Found a 2800 year old tomb filled with gold

A new discovery by a group of archaeologists in Kazakhstan is considered “unbelievable” when they unearthed a 2,800-year-old tomb filled with “treasures” inside.

The ancient tomb is located in the remote Tarbagatai mountains. Here, the archaeological team found about 3,000 items made of rare gold. This priceless “treasure” is said to have belonged to noble Royal members of the Saka people of Central Asia around the 8th century BC.

Many items are elaborately and sophisticatedly crafted

Among the crafted items, they can be seen with very sophisticated designs, including bell-shaped earrings, gold pieces with studs, necklaces, and necklaces with precious stones. The outfit is also elaborately decorated with sophisticated techniques using gold beads. All show the special skills and class level of the craftsmen when making jewelry at this period.

Archaeologists found about 3,000 rare gold items.

Kazakh archaeologists still hope to soon find the remains of the owner of this treasure. However, they have not opened the crypt yet.

Gold items found in ancient tombs

Professor Zainolla Samashev, who is in charge of the excavation team, said: “There are still a large number of valuable items lying in the tomb. We believe there are remains of a couple buried here. They may be rulers or have the social status of the Saka people.

The plateaus surrounded by dense grasslands were considered the “paradise” of the Saka kings. Although some treasures have been looted, experts believe they will still find a lot of gold in the future.

Experts believe they will find more treasures in this area

“There are many burial mounds here, posing great prospects,” said Mr. Yerben Oralbai, a leading archaeologist in Kazakhstan.

It is known that the Sakas are a branch of the Scythians – a nomadic civilization in Central Asia extending to Siberia.
