Kurgan Mounds

Kurgan mounds are ancient burial structures built by early Eurasian cultures, notably during the Bronze Age. These mounds, also called kurgans, are earthen or stone constructions that enclose graves, often containing human remains, artifacts, and valuables. They served as ritual sites and markers of social status for elite individuals. Found across regions like the Eurasian steppes, they reveal insights into the burial practices, belief systems, and social hierarchies of ancient societies. Kurgans are significant archaeological features that help us understand early cultural development and regional interactions.
