That means “I was wondering where I left those grave goods” in ancient Sarmatian.

Honest. Seriously. You don’t believe me?

On the left, you can see earrings but in that time, they were wearing earrings in ears.

Uh, isn't that where earrings are usually worn?

They had nice colorful, red and blue, pottery in that area, obviously.

The tomb of Sarmatian warrior is located near the village of Aidarly in the Akmola region.

I'm glad that got cleared up.

The Sarmatians were reputed to be great horseman. It will be interesting to find any equine remains in the burial and if those remains are similar to any existing horse breed or breeds still existing today.
