Eventually they fell to the Rodinian might.   The Kurgans are an ancient people who are named after the kurgans, or burial mounds, that they built for their dead, often containing a single human body along with grave vessels, weapons and horses.    The Kurgans are skilled warriors and horsemen, who frequently raid their neighbours, the Dardanians, the Honshuans, and the Rodinians. They also trade with them, exchanging their iron, silver and gold for other goods. The Kurgans were famous for their gold and silversmithing, producing elaborate and intricate ornaments, jewelry, and weapons.   The Kurgans have a polytheistic religion, worshipping various gods and goddesses associated with the sky, the sun, the earth, the fire, the water, and the animals. They also revere their ancestors, who they believe dwelled in the kurgans and the earth. They practice animal sacrifice, divination, and shamanism.
