The Turkestan region's archaeological community has discovered a set of ancient gold earrings in an unexpected turn of events; the adornments were discovered in a previously ravaged burial site near Sary Aryk village in the Ordabasy district.
Dating back to roughly 2,000 years ago, the earrings are believed to have originated from the Kangyu period and are in an exceptional state of preservation. The spiral design displayed on the earrings suggests that they were fastened to the end of the spiral hole, a fashion that persists among women today.
Although the Kangyu people did not worship gold, the affluent members of society utilized gold as a decorative accessory. Alexander Pokhinin, a professor at the South Kazakhstan State Pedagogical University, lauded the earrings as strikingly beautiful.
In the archaeological field, discovering pristine relics such as these earrings is a rare occurrence, as many ancient burial sites have suffered from looting in the past. However, this time, the discovery was doubly fortunate, as the archaeologists uncovered not only a family crypt but also an ancient trendsetter who wore a necklace composed of 400 beads, a silver ring with a stone, and a surmatage, a tool used to shape eyebrows.
The degree of intricacy in the ceramics excavated at the site left the scientists in awe, who observed that even modern-day craftsmen could learn from the ancient methods. A sizeable populace once inhabited this region; even a city was built on this land.
