;) Same finger positioning as quite a few others I can think of... "The archaeologists believe that this discovery is yet another confirmation of a direct link between the ancient tribes that lived in Eastern Europe and Central Asia. Three years ago Kazakhstan archaeologist Arman Baissenov discovered gold in a Saka tomb in Karkaralinsk. This time there were no precious metals in the tomb. But the archaeologists are still very happy with the unique granite sculpture of the Saka era. “We found a circular mound of 34 meters in diameter at the base and height of 2.5 meters,” Beissenov said. “We were working for two months. The granite sculpture was discovered a week after we started the excavations. It was laying at the entrance of the mound. It mush have been installed in the eastern part of the tomb and fell down, most probably back during the ancient times, as we found around 30 centimeters of grass underneath the sculpture.” According to him, the sculpture was not covered by soil. It was just standing on the side of the tomb surrounded by rocks. “That was a good location. Had it been placed at the top of the tomb, it wouldn’t have made it to our days. Back in the 1960s, when the historical heritage was destroyed, tractors would have removed and damaged it,” he explained."
