💨 Abstract

In Kazakhstan, archaeologists have uncovered the "City of Seven Ravines," a Bronze Age settlement dating to 1600 BC. The site, Semiyarka, challenges the notion of simple nomadic life in Central Asia, revealing a complex community of up to 1,000 people engaged in advanced metallurgy and trade. The city featured mud brick homes, defensive earthen banks, and dedicated areas for metal processing.
