The Royal Kurgan or Tsarskiy Kurgan from the 4th century BC, is one of the most impressive tumuli of the eastern Crimea. The burial mound is almost 20 metres high and its base perimeter is about 250 meters. It holds a burial chamber with a square floor plan (4.39 m X 4.35 m), which gradually merges into the circular shape of a corbelled dome ("false vault"). The total height of the burial chamber is 8.84 meters.
