00:17Welcome to Kazakhstan! Welcome to Modern Nomads!
00:23We begin this episode in Birel, the place in eastern Kazakhstan
00:28widely known for its stunning scenery and archaeological discoveries.
00:32Nestled at the foot of the Altai Mountains, the site holds a remarkable past.
00:37On the brink of a new millennium, Kazakh archaeologists uncover here a tomb of Saka nobles, buried here for over 2,000 years.
00:46Today, it's known as the Valley of the Kings.
00:49After years of archaeological excavations, around 100 aristocratic burials have been uncovered at the site.
00:56While many date back to the Saka period, the necropolis also includes remains from the later Turkic era.
01:02Today, the 170 hectare site is protected and open to the public.
01:08The stone-paved burial mounds form a chain, led by the largest and oldest tomb number one.
01:23The earlier the period, the larger the mount.
01:38These Grand Saka-era tombs offer insights into nomadic traditions, dating back half a millennium before Christ.
01:45The most astonishing discovery was the burial of a royal couple.
01:49Alongside the man and woman, there were 13 horses, all bridled, saddled and decorated with wooden horns, like those of a mountain goat.

03:31The settled communities reveal that today's heritage is rooted in diverse and advanced civilizations.
03:38The region of the eastern Kazakhstan was always a region of the Uruk.
03:40To investigate this, we need a lot of time and, of course, resources, which sometimes are not enough to do all the necessary analyses.
03:48From east Kazakhstan we head to the heart of the country, Astana.
03:53The capital houses Kazakhstan's most iconic archaeological find, an earth in 1969 from the Issyktyum in the south, the Golden Man or Altinadam in Kazakh.
