“Hügelgrab” – a word that conjures up images of ancient rituals and mysteries. Our very specific grave was built in the heart of Zurich, Switzerland, during the Middle Bronze Age, around 1600 to 1300 BC. This mound of earth, a legacy from prehistoric times, is a powerful reminder of the enduring history of this captivating city. It is a testament to a warrior society that favored burial mounds to honor their dead. These tumuli, also known as kurgans, were often filled with grave goods, artifacts that reveal a glimpse into their lives and beliefs.
