AdvertisementThe burial site of an ancient teenage warrior filled with more than 15,000 pieces of gold jewelry and artefacts has been discovered in Kazakhstan - with hundreds of the items set to go on display in the UK. The ancient tribe's culture saw elites buried in specially created mounds along with their horses and surrounded by treasures. The boy's mound - discovered at the Eleke Sazy burial mounds in the east of the country - was only the second intact Saka burial site to be discovered in Kazakhstan, according to the Fitzwilliam Museum. The remains of the first so-called 'golden man' were found in the south of Kazakhstan in 1969, at the Issyk burial mound. The exhibition will display finds from three burial complexes in eastern Kazakhstan: Berel, Shilikti and Eleke Sazy.
