Yamna culture

The Yamna culture, also known as the Pit Grave culture, was an ancient Bronze Age society that thrived around 3300–2600 BCE in the steppes of Eastern Europe. They are notable for their distinctive burial practices involving deep, often mound-like graves, and their use of wagons for transportation. The Yamna people are believed to be among the earliest speakers of Proto-Indo-European languages, influencing many later cultures across Europe and Asia. Their society was migratory, heavily reliant on herding animals like cattle and horses, which played a crucial role in their economy and mobility.
