00:17Welcome to Kazakhstan. Welcome to Modern Nomaz.
00:20We begin this episode in Birel, the place in eastern Kazakhstan widely known for its stunning scenery and archaeological discoveries.
00:32Nestled at the foot of the Altai Mountains, this 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.
00:48After 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.
01:18Stone-paved burial mounds form a chain, led by the largest and oldest, tomb number one.
01:35The earlier the period, the larger the mount.
01:37These 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.
01:58This reconstruction stands exactly where the original burial was uncovered.
02:03Right next to the necropolis is a museum showcasing all the discovered artifacts, wooden jewelry and decorations animal-inspired, adorned with gold,
02:13household items and reconstructions of humans and horses.

03:20This discovery breaks the stereotype that the Saka was purely nomadic.
03:30The settled communities reveal that today's heritage is rooted in diverse and advanced civilizations.
03:37From East Kazakhstan, we head to the heart of the country, Astana.
