Saka Warrior Tomb Yields Pristine 2,500-Year-Old Sword

Saka sword and other grave gods from Karabiye burial ground, Kazakhstan.

Archaeologists working in Kazakhstan’s Aktogay district have uncovered an exceptionally rare find that provides a unique window into the ancient world of the Saka warriors. During excavations at the Karabiye burial ground, a team from the Karaganda Regional History Museum discovered a completely untouched 2,500-year-old burial mound containing the skeleton of a warrior still clutching a remarkable bronze sword. The discovery, dating to the 7th-6th centuries BC, represents one of the most significant Saka period finds in recent years.

A Burial Untouched by Time

The burial mound, known as Kurgan No. 1, had remained completely undisturbed since antiquity, a rarity among Saka monuments that have often fallen victim to grave robbers. The tomb’s structure followed traditional Saka construction methods, featuring a circular earthen embankment topped with a protective cap of stone slabs.

“After removing the covering slabs, we saw a skeleton in correct anatomical order. In his right hand was an akinak [the sword type]. We haven’t had such findings in many years,” explained Dauren Zhusupov, Head of the Archaeology Department at the Karaganda Regional History Museum, to Qazinform News Agency.
