Pazyryk

The Pazyryk culture was an ancient nomadic society that thrived around 400 BCE in the Siberian Altai Mountains. Known for their impressive burial mounds or kurgans, they left behind remarkable grave goods, including intricately woven textiles, animal sculptures, and well-preserved ice tombs. Their art features detailed animal and mythological motifs, reflecting their beliefs and environment. The Pazyryk people were skilled horse riders and traders, connecting Eurasian regions. Discoveries like the archaeological site uncovered well-preserved artifacts provide valuable insights into Iron Age nomadic life, craftsmanship, and cultural practices of this Eurasian civilization.
