- tokai 2y agoInnumerable archaeological sites are being destroyed in Ukraine. As I understand it, the true scope of destruction is not even known. But especially kugans are being ravages as they provide good fighting positions and good targets for strikes. Not as horrible as all the deaths, but sad nonetheless.
- lurk2 2y ago> A kurgan is a type of tumulus (Burial mound) constructed over a grave, often characterized by containing a single human body along with grave vessels, weapons, and horses. Originally in use on the Pontic–Caspian steppe, kurgans spread into much of Central Asia and Eastern, Southeast, Western, and Northern Europe during the third millennium BC.
