Thursday, 17 August 2006
Research workers of the German
archaeological institute have discovered a mummy in permafrost at excavation work in Mongolia of approximately 2,500 years old. At the
"sensational find" of a sepulchre chamber of the Scythian rider
people a crew of the German television sender ZDF were
present. In front of the camera the archaeologists opened the sepulchre where the mummy
of the Scythian soldier was stored. The mummy, conserved in permafrost, carried still a fur coat and had a decorated gilded
head ornament. According to the scientists the discovery is similar
with those of the legendary Ötzi in 1991, and the tattooed siberian ice princess from 1993.
