Summary

Description
English: Kyzyl - capital of Tuva - Siberia - Russia

Visit to the regional museum of Tuva - exhibition "Scythian gold"

Scythian art is art, primarily decorative objects, such as jewellery, produced by the nomadic tribes in the area known to the ancient Greeks as Scythia, which was centred on the Pontic-Caspian steppe and ranged from modern Kazakhstan to the Baltic coast of modern Poland and to Georgia. The identities of the nomadic peoples of the steppes is often uncertain, and the term "Scythian" should often be taken loosely; the art of nomads much further east than the core Scythian territory exhibits close similarities as well as differences, and terms such as the "Scytho-Siberian world" are often used.

This city is situated in the place where Biy-Khem (the Big Yenisey) and Ka-Khem ( the Small Yenisey) unite their waters and give a life to the great river Yenisey. The first sightseeing to visit here is the Geographical Centre of Asia. Built in 1964, the monument represents a big globe on which the contours of continents are marked. Tuva and Kyzyl are specially indicated. Buddhism in Tuva exists in harmony with shaman beliefs.
