History reference
Archaeologists uncovered the remains along with magnificent gold-embroidered armour and other precious funerary artefacts during a dig at the Issyk burial mound in the south of the country in 1969, and quickly dubbed him the "Golden Man".
Issyk kurgan is not only one burial with golden clothes. Another one was found in Altai (Russian republic in southern Siberia) in 1995. And new one in 2019 - Aktobe region.
Archaeologists are confident that the remains date back to at least the 2nd-3rd century BCE, when south-eastern Kazakhstan was home to the Saka people, who are believed to have been part of the broader Scythian nomadic confederation.
Because of nomadic nature my hero need a vehicle. Like a horse it will be motorcycle.
Future DNA testing might be able to solve is whether the Golden Man is in fact a Golden Woman.
Archaeologists are not sure about gender of Saka Warrior. So I decided my hero will be woman.
