The Place and Importance of Arzhan 2 Tomb in the History of Scythian Culture

Summary/Abstract: Each nation has created a unique culture as a result of the geographical conditions of the region where it lives. In the tribes living in the steppe geography, they have created their own unique nomadic culture. One of these steppe tribes is Scythians. There is information in written and archaeological sources about the history and culture of the Scythians, who were active in Central Asia, especially in the north of the Black Sea and Anatolia between the 8th century BC and the 2nd century AD. Greek sources are at the top of the written sources. In archaeological sources, on the other hand, since the Scythians adopted a nomadic lifestyle, tombs, not settlements, take the first place. The graves of the Scythians are called "kurgan". Kurgan means "shelter" and means protecting the person buried in the grave. In Scythian culture and history, there are many kurgans where remains and finds were obtained. Among these kurgans, the Arzhan 2 kurgan stands out. Located in the Tuva region, Arzhan 2 kurgan was furnished in the tent style used by the steppe people in their daily life. Especially the clothes of men and women found in the burial chamber number 5, gold figures decorating them, weapons, everyday items such as plates and utensils are all important in the research of Scythian culture and history.
