The remains of an enormous warrior who fought more than 2,000 years ago have been found in Kazakhstan.
The soldier was heavily armed and stood around 6ft 6ins tall.
Archaeologists believe he was well-built and revered by people who buried him with his weapons.
The BBC says the warrior lived around the first century BC.
Historians say this may lead them to re-examine the origins of the region's people.
