The Saka Culture refers to the ancient nomadic tribes known as the Saka, who inhabited parts of Central Asia, particularly around the 1st millennium BCE. They are often associated with the Scythians, sharing similar customs and lifestyles. The Saka were skilled horsemen and warriors, known for their elaborate burial mounds called kurgans, which contained rich grave goods, reflecting their social status and beliefs. The Saka people practiced a form of pastoralism, relying on herding and agriculture for sustenance.

Their culture significantly influenced neighboring regions, contributing to the rich tapestry of ancient Eurasian civilizations.
