Discovery of Bronze Age Pyramids in Kazakhstan, Ancient Noble Burial Ground

Discovery of Bronze Age Pyramids in Kazakhstan, Ancient Noble Cemetery

Archaeologists have discovered a structure in the steppe of Central Asia that is approximately 3,000 years old. The Karazhartas Pyramid is known to have been found during excavations along the Taldy River in the Karaganda region in central Kazakhstan.

This pyramid was built by the Begazy-Dandibay culture in the Late Bronze Age in central Kazakhstan. This semi-nomadic community had a primary focus on metallurgy and livestock. Their success lay in extensive metal trading across various Eurasian regions, providing significant benefits from metal exports and creating a new aristocratic class within the Begazy-Dandibay community.

"The Origin of Karazhartas Pyramid"

A historian named Serhan Cinar stated that the Karazhartas pyramid was built as a symbol of the aristocratic class. This pyramid-shaped tomb is one of the most prominent monuments of the Begazy-Dandibay culture.

During the excavation conducted by the Sary Arka Archaeological Expedition from Karaganda University, researchers discovered that this square pyramid-shaped mausoleum consists of layers resembling stairs. Its function is as a burial site, with dimensions of approximately 20 by 30 meters.

In 1933, the Begazy-Dandibay culture began excavating stone tombs. After that, researchers discovered pyramid-shaped tombs in the Tady River valley, where prominent figures were buried.

Apart from that, the investigation in the Karazhartas pyramid found a granite stone surrounding the sarcophagus discovered in the burial chamber inside the pyramid. Inside the sarcophagus, researchers found the skull of a ruler believed to be buried there.

In one of the top parts of the cemetery, archaeologists found a bronze arrowhead and mysterious fragments of pottery. The latter is the discovery of animal bones that are often used in traditional ceremonies, both inside the cemetery and around the pyramid stairs.

Apart from discovering pyramid-shaped tombs, archaeologists have also succeeded in finding a settlement called Kent, which has a connection to the Begazy-Dandibay culture. This settlement covers an area of 15 hectares and includes features such as labyrinth gates, ditches, and walls.

"In that settlement, there is a well-organized network of roads and irrigation systems. In the research, archaeologists found the presence of a special altar for sacrificial ceremonies, a place where ceremonial offerings are made to the gods. 'In the Bronze Age rituals of the inhabitants of Kazakhstan, offerings are given to the sun, moon, fire, and the protective spirit 'ongun',' said Cinar."
