CAIRO – 17 August 2021: Irkutsk National Research Technical University announced that Russian archaeologists have discovered in the southeastern Sayan in Buryatia more than 30 ancient tombs dating back to the Late Bronze Age. The tombs were discovered during excavations in the Okinsk region of Buryatia; it is the 30th ritual building and the oldest cemetery in the Southeast Sayan region. Red and yellow stones were discovered next to the buried person. According to Russia Today, these graves differ from those previously discovered in the Russian Lake Baikal region, as the head is directed to the southeast. Archaeologists had previously found similar tombs in the Khovsgol region of northern Mongolia, but the head is in a northwest direction.
