According to news from Dailymail, recently, archaeologists recently unearthed ancient tombs containing the bones of a warrior king wrapped in gold-clad robes in ALtai territory, southern Russia. It is known that this king ruled the Scythian region of the Russian steppe about 2,500 years ago.

He was buried on a mountain with a horse and many possessions including a molten metal made of many different metals, an iron sword of Scythians, a bronze knife chisel and some other iron. In addition, the researchers found part of the last meal of the king's funeral, the sheep bone.

However, the most surprising thing is the discovery of a small piece of gold leaf decorated on his outfit. Professor Alexander Kazakov, an archaeologist who led the study at the Russian Interior Ministry Law Institute in Barnaul, said: "Although the clothing items of this warrior king were rotted, the pieces of gold remained intact in the land. "

Scythia is a group of nomads living in the central region of Eurasia stretching from Iran to China and throughout Asia, now to Eastern Europe. Previously there were documents from ancient Greece and China saying that this was a fierce nomadic group. They began to thrive in the 8th century BC, the skill of fighting on horseback of this group made the enemy terrified.

In the 7th century BC, Scythians established their first kingdom using sharp bows and short swords to go to war with horses. However, around the 5th century BC, Scythians established a lucrative trade route with the Greeks, so many people became very wealthy.

The ancient tomb is found in the outskirts of Krasny Yar in Altai territory of southern Russia, believed to date between 500 and 400 BC. Professor Kazakov said that the remains in the grave are carefully guarded by a surrounding stone ring.

He said the horse buried with the king showed how valuable horses were in the past. The discovery of this grave is extremely rare and valuable in terms of the little-known and technical nomadic culture that creates spectacular creation of master craftsmen of the time.
