Discovery of Mustached Burial Mounds in Kazakhstan Reveals Medieval Secrets

Archaeologists have recently uncovered ten ancient burial mounds, known as kurgans, in Kazakhstan’s Ulytau region. These kurgans, dating to the Middle Ages, include several with a distinctive feature: stone ridges that resemble mustaches.

. Among them, three kurgans are recognised for their mustached appearance due to the unique stone ridges crossing them. One particular kurgan, which does not feature the mustached design, was excavated to reveal the remains of a man buried with a triangular arrowhead. While the exact identity and cause of his death are yet to be determined, further research may provide additional details.

The newly discovered kurgans might belong to these nomadic groups, predating the Mongol conquests of the 13th century.

Ongoing Research

The Margulan Institute of Archaeology, led by Zhanbolat Utubaev, continues to explore these kurgans. The excavation team’s ongoing research aims to shed light on the customs and lives of the people who built these mounds. Future
