Boralday, Archaeological burial site in Almaty, Kazakhstan.

The necropolis stretches across 430 hectares along the Bolshaya Almatinka River, containing 47 burial mounds from ancient civilizations.

The burial complex dates back to the 5th through 3rd centuries BC, belonging to the Saka people who inhabited Central Asia during the early Iron Age.

The site contains multiple burial mounds, including a central mound reaching 14 meters in height and 100 meters in diameter, reflecting ancient funeral practices.

Visitors can access the site from Almaty city center, where the Museum of Almaty manages the archaeological park and provides guided tours.

The dry climate of the region has preserved human remains, clothing, and artifacts, including a dedicated burial area for horses within the necropolis.
