Documented folklore from the Club 49 map, told straight and sourced.
The Scythians, the horse nomads who ruled the steppe of Ukraine and southern Russia 2,500 years ago, buried their kings under great earthen mounds, the kurgans, with breathtaking treasures of worked gold, and archaeologists still open them: the Solokha and Tovsta Mohyla kurgans gave up some of the finest gold work of the ancient world, including the famous royal pectoral. The steppe is dotted with thousands of unexcavated mounds. This is real, documented archaeology, not a dig-it-yourself legend; and Ukraine is an active war zone, so it is a heritage pin.
The kurgan mounds of the Ukrainian steppe. Source: Real Scythian royal gold, still being found in the steppe kurgans. The Club 49 map pins this legend at its documented country, beside the real mines, active claims, land status and modeled honey holes of the same ground. Open the free map and go stand in the story.
