According to the excavation report from the Istanbul Archaeology Museum, archaeologist have excavated the first and oldest 5000 year old kurgan style tomb that has been discovered and completely unearthed in Turkey. The circular mound sat over an intact burial in the Silivri district of Istanbul. Evidence at the site suggests treasure hunters had attempted to dig it up several times, but had not been able to reach the main burial chamber, where researchers found the remains of a Bronze Age soldier or warrior who had been buried with a spear and two pots.
