A farmer digging up his land discovered something unexpected: a 2,000-year-old mound containing the remains and artifacts of a nomadic chief, including the strange skull of a “laughing” man.

A chieftain was buried with his head raised as if on a pillow (in the photo). The individual is believed to have been a high-ranking “royal” from a nomadic society.

Oh, impressive gold and silver jewelry, weapons, heatsinks and everyday life cup artifacts have been found beside the skeleton

Rustam Mudayev, a local farmer, made an unusual sound with his shovel, and it turned out that he hit an ancient bronze pot near the village of Nikolskoye in the Astrakhan region.

A farmer digging a hole in his land unearthed a 2,000-year-old treasure inside the ancient burial mound of a ‘royal’ nomad’s grave, along with a ‘laughing’ man (pictured) with a shaped skull artificially deformed egg. Shaping and elongating the skull in this way was popular on several continents among ancient groups such as the Sarmatians, Alans, Huns, and others.

The burial is believed to belong to a leader of a nomadic Sarmatian tribe that dominated this part of Russia until the 5th century AD.

Pieces of jewelry were found in the burial pit alongside the dead humans and animals, and experts believe they were gifts for the dead.

They collected a gold and turquoise belt buckle and the chief’s dagger along with a small gold horse’s head that was buried between his legs and other intricate jewelry.

He took it to the Astrakhan Historical Museum for analysis and expert opinion on the find.

“As soon as the snow fell, we organized an expedition to the village,” says museum researcher Georgy Stukalov.

“After examining the burial, we realized that it was a royal mound, one of the places where the ancient nomads buried their nobility.” The burial is believed to belong to a leader of the nomadic Sarmatian tribe that dominated this part of Russia until the 5th century AD, and other dignitaries from the ancient world, including a “laughing” youth with an artificially deformed egg-shaped skull and excellent teeth that have survived two millennia.

“We have been digging for 12 days and have found many gold ornaments decorated with turquoise and inlaid with lapis lazuli and glass,” says Stukalov.

The most ‘significant’ find is considered to be a male skeleton buried inside a wooden coffin. This chief’s head was upright, as if he were resting on a pillow, and he wore a cloak decorated with gold plates.

Archaeologists found his collection of knives, gold items, a small mirror and various vessels, obviously indicative of his elite status. They collected a gold and turquoise belt buckle and the chief’s dagger, as well as a tiny gold horse’s head that was buried between his legs, and other intricate jewelry.

Nearby lay a woman with a bronze mirror, who was buried with a sacrificial offering in the form of a whole lamb, as well as various stone objects whose meaning is unclear.

Another burial belonged to an old man: his skeleton was broken by a bulldozer, but buried with him was the head of his horse, the skull of which was clad in an intricate harness richly decorated with silver and bronze.

Another grave was that of an old man, his skeleton broken by a bulldozer, but buried with him was the head of his horse, his skull still clad in an intricate harness richly decorated with silver and bronze.

Also found on the mound was the skeleton of a Joven man with an artificially deformed ovoid skull. This shape was probably “shaped” either by repeated bandaging or by “ringing” the head in infancy (archaeologists speculate). These bandages and rings were used during the first years of a child’s life to give the skull the desired shape. Shaping and elongating the skull in this way was popular on several continents among groups as ancient as the Sarmatians, Alans, Huns, and others.

It is believed that such deformed heads were a sign of a person’s special status, his noble roots and his privileged place in society.

Local farmer Rustam Musayev shovel made an unusual noise and it was learned that it had struck an ancient bronze pot near his village of Nikolskoye in the Astrakhan region.

A horse’s head buried on top of the old man’s body is still wearing an intricate silver and bronze harness that was also discovered.

The farmer brought his find to the Astrakhan history museum for analysis and expert opinion on the find. “As soon as the snow melted, we organized an expedition to the village,” said the museum’s research scientist Georgy Stukalov.

“We have been digging for 12 days,” Mr. Stukalov said. “We have found multiple gold jewels decorated with turquoise and lapis lazuli and glass inserts”

A cacique was buried with his head raised as if on a pillow and with a cloak adorned with gold plagues.

Nearby was a woman with a bronze mirror who had been buried with a sacrificial offering of a whole lamb, along with various stone items, the meaning of which is unclear.

The gold jewelry and buckle (pictured) are believed to be signs of the person’s nobility and would only have been awarded to the wealthiest of people.

A gold and turquoise horse’s head was buried between the chief’s legs (pictured). The small but valuable find is just one of many important artifacts in the burial pit.
