Ala-Tey burial ground

  In short

Burial mound from Xiongnu period from the 2nd century BC – 1st century AD. Here have been made very rich, unlooted burials of Huns at the period when this culture started the Great Migration and arrived here from some region in Northern China. The burial mound is endangered by the flooding due to a hydropower plant and there are ongoing salvage excavations to extract the information before it is lost.
