Sagly-Bazhy culture

The Sagly-Bazhy culture or Sagly/Uyuk culture, also known as Chandman culture in Mongolia (Ulaangom cemetery), refers to the Saka culture of the Sayan Mountains, in modern-day Tuva Republic. It is the last stage of the Uyuk culture.

This period of Scythian culture covers a period from the 5th century BCE to the 2nd century BCE, and follows the Arzhan culture (8th century BCE), and the Aldy-Bel culture (7th-6th century BCE) in the same location. These Scythian cultures would ultimately be replaced by the Xiongnu Empire and the Kokel Culture.

Nearby Saka cultures were the Tagar Culture of the Minusinsk Basin, as well as the Pazyryk Culture (ca. 500–200 BCE) in the Altai Mountains and the Saka culture (ca. 900–200 BCE), to which the Sagly-Bazy culture was strongly related. To the east was the Slab-grave culture.

The Sagly-Bazhy culture stopped to exist in the 2nd century BCE as a result of Xiongnu invasions.
