A kurgan (Russian:курга́н) is a tumulus, a type of burial mound or barrow, heaped over a burial chamber, often of wood. The Russian noun, which is already attested in Old East Slavic, is borrowed from an unidentified Turkic language, compare Modern Turkishkurğan, which means "fortress". These are mounds of earth and stones raised over a grave or graves. Associated with its use in Soviet archaeology, the word is now widely used for tumuli in the context of Eastern European and Central Asian archaeology.
The Kurgan hypothesis was first formulated in the 1950s by Marija Gimbutas, who used the term to group various cultures, including the Yamna, or Pit Grave, culture and its predecessors. David Anthony instead uses the core Yamna Culture and its relationship with other cultures as a point of reference.
Marija Gimbutas defined the "Kurgan culture" as composed of four successive periods, with the earliest (Kurgan I) including the Samara and Seroglazovo cultures of the Dnieper/Volga region in the Copper Age (early 4th millennium BC). The people of these cultures were nomadic pastoralists, who, according to the model, by the early 3rd millennium BC had expanded throughout the Pontic-Caspian steppe and into Eastern Europe.
The Kurgan's life story is fleshed out in several Highlander spin-offs in various media.
Highlander
The Kurgan—who was found on the shores of the Kurgan tribe where he was taken in and named Victor—was born in what is now Russia on the border of the Caspian Sea. His tribe, the Kurgans, Juan Ramírez notes, were infamous for their cruelty, and were known to "toss children into pits full of starved dogs, and watch them fight for [the] meat" for amusement.
In 1536, the Kurgan hired himself out to Clan Fraser in their battle with the MacLeod clan, in exchange for allowing him to be the one to kill Connor MacLeod. In the midst of the battle, the Kurgan challenged MacLeod. Before Connor could strike, the Kurgan ran him through with his broadsword. However, Connor's cousins Angus and Dougal (along with other members of his clan) beat the Kurgan back, rescuing Connor from certain beheading. The Kurgan promised he would finish it, screaming: "Another time, MacLeod!!" Five years later, another Immortal, Juan Sánchez Villa-Lobos Ramírez, sought out the now fully Immortal MacLeod as the only hope of defeating the Kurgan. However, the Kurgan discovered this, and tracked them down to MacLeod's home. MacLeod was away, but Ramírez and Heather MacLeod, Connor's wife, were there. He battled Ramírez, who managed to slice Kurgan's throat (though not deep enough to behead him) before being impaled and decapitated himself; all while Heather watched. After taking Ramirez's Quickening, the Kurgan raped Heather and departed. MacLeod returned shortly after, narrowly missing his enemy.
An urban settlement was established here between 1659 and 1662 as Tsaryovo Gorodishche (Царёво Городи́ще), by Timofei Neweschin, a farmer from Tyumen. In the ensuing years it was developed as a fortress town. It served as a frontier post and its fortified position enabled it to defend other Russian settlements from nomad attacks. Nevertheless, it was itself not always able to withstand such attacks, and was sometimes plundered and burnt down.
Its coat of arms dates were granted on 17th March 1785, and it became the administrative center of Kurgan Oblast in 1943. Kurgan was awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labour in 1982.

The Royal Kurgan or Tsarskiy Kurgan from the 4th century BC, is one of the most impressive tumuli (kurgans) of eastern Crimea. It is assumed that the Royal Kurgan, was the final resting place of a ruler of the Bosporan Kingdom.

Independently most likely, the architects who created these projects chose similar options for the roof construction technique to make the roof capable of holding a large mass. Both rooms probably were meant to facilitate the transition to the afterlife of the deceased and both give a feeling of claustrophobia and mysterious uneasiness.

European folklore and the Kurgan Hypothesis

The Migration of Indo-European Languages
In this episode the History of the World Podcast leads us through a heavily complex and complicated subject involving the Indo-European origin of many of the languages that we have today and the migrations that occurred early in our human history as humans and their evolving languages spread out across the globe, in many ways connected and in many ways different. Enjoy!
7000 BCE onwards - Proto-Indo-Europeans are believed to have spoken a language ancestral to over four hundred languages of the modern world. Why do we believe this when there is no firm evidence of a Proto-Indo-European language though?

13 - You have been massively lied to - Kurgan History Part 1
The level of deception you have been subjected to is absurdly huge.
Several topics are discussed.
The new genetic narrative of the Kurgan hypothesis: Some problems
The canonical Indo-European model, which was originally a purely linguistic one, is founded on a central assumption: that of an original people (Urvolk in German), who inhabited an original homeland (Urheimat) where they spoke an original language (Ursprache). They left this homeland to spread progressively throughout a large part of Eurasia, giving rise through the process of scissiparity to all of the historically known Indo-European languages and to the peoples who spoke, or still speak, them. In fact, the Kurgan hypothesis, the most popular one, lacks real archaeological proofs. Nevertheless, palaeogenetics was recently supposed to bring new proofs of a massive migration from the steppes to North-Western Europe. A new narrative try now to bridge the gap between archaeology and genetics...
A captivating overview of the origins and characteristics of the Proto-Indo-Europeans, as well as theories regarding how they managed to spread through Europe and Asia. A new theory of the origins of the language released in July 2023 is also discussed and challenged.

How Indo-European Languages Evolved
The origin of Indo-European languages has long been a topic of debate among scholars and scientists. In 2012, a team of evolutionary biologists at the University of Auckland led by Dr. Quentin Atkinson released a study that found all modern IE languages could be traced back to a single root: Anatolian — the language of Anatolia, now modern-day Turkey.

The origin of Indo-European languages has long been a topic of debate among scholars and scientists. In 2012, a team of evolutionary biologists at the University of Auckland led by Dr. Quentin Atkinson released a study that found all modern IE languages could be traced back to a single root: Anatolian — the language of Anatolia, now modern-day Turkey.

When researching ancient history you often stumble upon images that really get your attention, and the Royal Kurgan of eastern Crimea is a truly breathtaking example of burial mound from the 4th century BC.
It’s located in present-day Kerch, which developed out of the ancient Greek town of Panticapaeum, part of the Bosporan Kingdom, which was founded by the Milesians; Miletus being the ancient Greek city of western Anatolia.
There are close to 200 burial mounds in and around Kerch and the Royal Kurgan is located around 5 km northeast of the town centre, a beautiful piece of history as well as a major tourist attraction for the town.
Royal Kurgan is 20 metres high and the perimeter of the base is 250 metres. Watch this video to learn more about this incredible ancient structure and why the Royal Kurgan is a magnificent ancient wonder.

The Royal Kurgan or Tsarskiy Kurgan from the 4th century BC, is one of the most impressive tumuli (kurgans) of eastern Crimea. It is assumed that the Royal Kurgan, was the final resting place of a ruler of the Bosporan Kingdom. This was founded in the 5th century BC from the Greek colonies in the northern Black Sea region and at the Sea of Azov. The kurgan could have been the tomb of Leukon of Bosporus. This enigmatic burial site Has a remarkable construction, characterized by a towering mound and intricate burial chamber. Its roof was built using the corbelled vault technique. What is interesting about this megalithic structure is that it reminds me of the Grand Gallery from the pyramid of Khufu. Independently most likely, the architects who created these projects chose similar options for the roof construction technique to make the roof capable of holding a large mass. Both rooms probably were meant to facilitate the transition to the afterlife of the deceased and both give a feeling of claustrophobia and mysterious uneasiness.

A kurgan (Russian:курга́н) is a tumulus, a type of burial mound or barrow, heaped over a burial chamber, often of wood. The Russian noun, which is already attested in Old East Slavic, is borrowed from an unidentified Turkic language, compare Modern Turkishkurğan, which means "fortress". These are mounds of earth and stones raised over a grave or graves. Associated with its use in Soviet archaeology, the word is now widely used for tumuli in the context of Eastern European and Central Asian archaeology.
In this episode I discuss why I don't believe in the Kurgan theory.

From Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones to Terry Pratchett's Discworld, most fantasy novels, films, television series and computer games take place in a broadly similar landscape. We examine the possible origin of what might not inaptly be termed the 'Magic Realm'.
In this episode the History of the World Podcast leads us through a heavily complex and complicated subject involving the Indo-European origin of many of the languages that we have today and the migrations that occurred early in our human history as humans and their evolving languages spread out across the globe, in many ways connected and in many ways different. Enjoy!
7000 BCE onwards - Proto-Indo-Europeans are believed to have spoken a language ancestral to over four hundred languages of the modern world. Why do we believe this when there is no firm evidence of a Proto-Indo-European language though?

The canonical Indo-European model, which was originally a purely linguistic one, is founded on a central assumption: that of an original people (Urvolk in German), who inhabited an original homeland (Urheimat) where they spoke an original language (Ursprache). They left this homeland to spread progressively throughout a large part of Eurasia, giving rise through the process of scissiparity to all of the historically known Indo-European languages and to the peoples who spoke, or still speak, them. In fact, the Kurgan hypothesis, the most popular one, lacks real archaeological proofs. Nevertheless, palaeogenetics was recently supposed to bring new proofs of a massive migration from the steppes to North-Western Europe. A new narrative try now to bridge the gap between archaeology and genetics. But is the traditional canonical model the only possible one ?
