Gold Filigreed Tomb Reveals Scythian King Pre Christ
Archaeologists in southern Russia near Nicolaeff uncovered an undisturbed fourth century BCE Scythian king burial. The tomb contained a gilded bronze and iron weaponry set, a massive silver vase encrusted with gold figures, a gold necklace with lions head clasps, gold bracelets, a golden sword in its scabbard, and silver veils. The find echoes Herodotus on kingly ritual, horse and rider sacrifices, and a guardian cavalcade around the tomb. A bowl of exquisite workmanship recalls the Scythian meteorite legend and may reflect cosmic origins of myths.
