New finds unearthed in Akmola region
Kokshetau, July 10, 2009 (Khabar) - A burial place allegedly dating back to the Bronze Age has been unearthed in the Akmola region. The found materials confirmed that around 3000 years ago this site was inhabited by a highly developed civilization. Now, archeologists are trying to specify the exact period the burial was made. At the depth of over 2 metres, archeologists found the remains of a woman who was 170 centimetres tall and wrapped in animal skin.
Viktor Zaibert, professor of archeology:
- We have never seen such a find before. This valley is unique and we have been studying it for over 20 years now. Here, there are over 100 different objects and 90% of them are burial items. I associate them all with the Valley of Kings in Egypt.
According to archeologists, the found woman may have been a cult servant as they have found some objects in the tomb confirming such a guess. They found a bronze mirror 17 centimetres in diameter, stoneware and a plate for paints which still preserved some colour fragments. There, archeologists also unearthed a steel knife, a bronze awl and pieces of ceramic ware. Over the past 4 years, officials from the Akmola region state department for the protection and use of historical and cultural heritage, have found a total of over 600 artifacts.
