Kurhan Issyk

-

Kurhan Issyk - a sacred kurgan located on the left bank of the Issyk River near Issyk, 50 km east of Almaty in modern Kazakhstan.

It forms part of the royal necropolis of 45 mounds, built between the 7th and the 4th century BC. Their height ranges from 6 to 15 m, and the diameter is from 30 to 90 m. The length of the necropolis, from the south to the north, is 3 km.

Kurhan Issyk was the richest of the barrows that make up the necropolis. It is located in the southern part of the cemetery. Its height is 6 m and the width is 60 m. In the interior of the mound, archaeologists have found two burial chambers: the central and the south, the lateral.

The central chamber was plundered several times. Its internal dimensions - 2.9 m x 1.5 m. Entrance to it was from the east. In the south and west of the main chamber there were vessels, in the northern part - the remains of the deceased, arranged on his back with his head facing west. Studies show that he was 16-18 years old and 165 cm tall. The side chamber was unaffected.

The curse found about 4,000 gold items and a few clay, metal and wood products. Items found in the kurhaan allowed the complete reconstruction of the warrior's clothes from the tomb in Issyku. This reconstruction is known as the "Golden Man".

Kurhan, as well as all the necropolis, were discovered in 1969 by the Kazakh archaeologist K.A. Akiszewa. Bibliography
