Tagisken

Tagisken is an ancient necropolis on a plateau near the Aral Sea containing two distinct burial locations. The southern site covers more ground than its northern counterpart.

The site dates from the 7th to 5th century BCE during the early Saka period. It reveals patterns about how ancient Central Asian societies were organized.

Die Gräber zeigen die Bestattungspraktiken der Saka-Nomaden mit ihren Tumulus-Strukturen und rituellen Traditionen. Diese Bauweise gibt Einblick, wie diese antiken Völker ihre Verstorbenen ehrten.

Accessing the site requires specialized transportation to cross the plateau terrain. Traveling with an experienced local guide is advisable to navigate the area properly.

Research connects the site to ancient river systems in the region that have long since dried up. These connections help explain how the landscape has transformed over thousands of years.
