This year the excavations were held in the same burial mound, where was found a grave covered up with stones at depth of 4,5 meters, it is a not ransacked by robbers burial place of a leader of an ancient tribe and his wife. This was adiscovery of a global scale - during all the history of studying the Scythian's monuments in Asia and Europe, there were found no any unimpaired tsar's mounds.

According to the words of Chugunov, the Scythians generated near the Black sea in the middle of the 7th century BC. The burial mound of the Tsar valley is dated of about that time. The professor assumes that the Scythians spread through the territory of Eurasia from the Altay-Sayan region, in particular from Tuva. Owing to excavations the scientists got the full picture of burial rite of the Scythian epoch for the first time.
