Discovery of Ancient 1,500-Year-Old Gold Buckle, There is a Figure of a Ruler Inside

Archaeologists in Kazakhstan have discovered two gold ornaments in a 1,500-year-old tomb that depict the earliest representation of a great khan, or "khagan," of the Gokturks, a nomadic confederation of Turkic-speaking ethnic groups that occupied the area for approximately three centuries, according to an archaeologist excavating the site.

"This clearly depicts the sacred nature of power in ancient Turkish society," he added.

This finding originates from the Eleke Sazy site near the far eastern border of Kazakhstan with China, Mongolia, and Siberia Russia, where Samashev and his colleagues have been working since 2016.

The translation of the given text from Bahasa to English while preserving any HTML tags is as follows: "Makam G\u00f6kt\u00fcrk 6th-century tomb preserves the remains of a nobleman, possibly a "tegin" or "prince" in the ancient Turkic language, whose burial site developed into a "idol memorial complex" in the 7th century that honored the deceased male, according to Samashev."

Samashev argues that the prince may have come from the royal Ashina family of the khagan, which means "ruler" in ancient Turkic language, and is the origin of the word "khan." The Ashina family established two Turkic states in Central Eurasia Steppe between the fifth and eighth centuries and ruled until they were conquered by another Turkic group that became the Uyghurs.

"Gold Plaque"

Two gold plaques were found in the central chamber of the tomb where the prince was cremated; one of them suffered severe damage due to the cremation fire.

With a size of about 1.5 inches (3.7 cm), both are types of belt buckles in which both ends are passed through holes at the base so that they hang on the waist.

Gesper like this seems to be a symbol of power in Turk society, said Samashev, and may indicate that the wearer is a high-status person. Khagan is seen in the middle of each plaque, wearing a decorated crown and sitting on a throne depicting two horse tails; he is surrounded by two kneeling servants offering food from a plate and bowl.

This is the oldest verified depiction of a khagan from the Gokturk people, and it is most likely the khagan himself, said Samashev.
"It is not known whether the plaque is worn by the deceased buried there. They may be worn by their assistants, who place them during the cremation as a form of participation in the sacred ceremony," said Samashev.

"Bangsa Turki Awal" translates to "The Early Turkish Nation" in English.

The following 'Bahasa' text translated to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "The Gokturks or "Celestial Turks" in Central Asia may have originated from an ethnic group under the rule of the Xiongnu, who ruled the eastern Eurasian Steppe around the 2nd century BC until around the 1st century AD. This tomb site may have developed as a social and cultural center for the community to honor the beliefs of the Gokturks," said Serhan Çınar, an archaeologist from Ankara University who is also involved in the excavation.

"Kompleks peringatan di Eleke Sazy... terkait dengan masuknya bangsa Turki kuno ke dalam arena sejarah, bersama dengan orientasi spiritual dan ideologi, agama dan filosofi mereka," "The memorial complex in Eleke Sazy... is related to the entry of ancient Turkish people into the arena of history, along with their spiritual and ideological orientation, religion, and philosophy."

"katanya." in English is "he/she said."

Samashev stated that the complex is made of stone and soil, measuring approximately 300 feet (90 meters) in length and 165 feet (50 meters) in width, with two main sections, each surrounded by courtyard walls.

Samashev menyatakan bahwa kompleks tersebut terbuat dari batu dan tanah, memiliki panjang sekitar 300 kaki (90 meter) dan lebar 165 kaki (50 m), dengan dua bagian utama yang masing-masing dikelilingi oleh dinding halaman.

One part is the main square-shaped temple, which includes the central burial chamber. A "maze" for pilgrims who also come is built next to it. The central chamber of the maze contains a stone statue that is now damaged and headless, believed to represent the person buried in the tomb, said Samashev. Hundreds of other artifacts were found at the site. In addition to gold plaques, archaeologists also found objects made of silver, iron, and bronze; weapons; remnants of horse equipment; and an amulet made of crystal stone, revealed Samashev.
