Scythians: The Origins of a Nomadic Empire

An exceptional archaeological discovery: in 1999, researchers discovered a 2,400-year-old Scythian tomb in Kazakhstan. Twelve sacrificed horses, richly adorned with gold, surrounded the mummified bodies of noble warriors. Unique objects, jewelry, embroidered textiles... A treasure frozen in the ice of the Altai Mountains, which sheds new light on the mysterious civilization of the Saka, nomadic horsemen of Eurasia. Rewards:
