The Araltobe barrow is a burial ground found in Araltobe in northwestern Kazakhstan, thought to belong to a member of the Sarmatian culture, and dated to the 3rd-2nd century BCE.[2]
The mound (Zhylyoi "Araltobe" necropolis 1-mound) was excavated in 1999 in the Atyraw region by archaeologists Zeinulla Samashev and Zhumash Dzhetybaeva. They found the remains of a "Golden Man", who presents some parallels with similar "Golden men" found in Issyk kurgan or the kurgan at Shilikty.[2][3]
