Royal Kurgan, Archaeological burial site in Kerch, Ukraine.
The Royal Kurgan reaches 20 meters in height with a base perimeter of 250 meters, featuring a square burial chamber and circular dome.
The burial mound, constructed in the 4th century BC, served as the final resting place for a ruler of the Bosporan Kingdom.
The limestone structure incorporates Greek architectural techniques, displaying advanced engineering through its corbelled vault and long entrance passage.
