Scythian mummy found in Mongolia - dates back 2,500 years

[hoplite14gr]

Yes we discussed the "ice princess" in the buttered Skythians thread in the Greek section. Guess that is what Robert is refering to.
Pesonally I would like to see more evidence of the tatoos.
In the Kurgan "ice mummies" the noblewoman was without tatoos but the two slaves(?) buried with her were tatooed.

I will a bit (not much) dissagree with Andreas about an ancient laughing at us. Identification of "us vs others" was importand in acnient cultures and they didn much bother about our "modern sencitivities" who are very concerned in "avoiding offence".

Kind regards
