Tagar culture

The Tagar culture was an ancient Bronze Age society that existed around 900 to 400 BCE in the Siberian region of modern-day Russia. Known for their metalwork, especially gold and bronze artifacts, they built large burial mounds called kurgans, which reflect their complex social and spiritual beliefs. The Tagar people practiced hunting, farming, and craftsmanship, and their artwork often depicted animals and mythological themes. Their culture provides valuable insights into early Siberian civilization, showing a society with sophisticated burial rites and metalworking skills, important for understanding the development of ancient cultures in Eurasia.
