A discovery was made by archaeologists in the Turkish region of Kazakhstan of ancient relics, including a bronze mirror and moon-shaped gold earrings dating back thousands of years.
A translated press release published on Turkistan's regional government website in May 2024 shared the findings of a jug, a bronze mirror and a Roman fibula, among other items, during the excavation of three burial mounds. Two of the burial mounds had been looted, but one contained the ancient relics. Ashlyn Messier is a writer for Fox News Digital.
The bronze mirror is thought to have originated in China, according to the press release, during the Han dynasty (206 BCE–220 CE). Mirrors similar to the one recently unearthed have been found in Afghanistan and the southern Ural region.
