Siberian steppes echoes a legendary past. Mounted tribes once ruled these high plateaus, where towering stone monuments reach toward the heavens. Golden treasures from these days are rare and enigmatic. But new finds cast light on a culture cloaked in mystery: Sacrificed animals, valued possessions, and a startling emissary from this age of warriors—a 2400 year old woman frozen in time. But this Ice Maiden will not be left to rest. Removed from the grave, her body has traveled half way around the world to be displayed and admired. Now, she is returning to Siberia, back to the scientist who discovered her, and who hopes to learn more of the Ice Maiden's secrets.

  • Come on people, its clear that theyre one of the first early indo-european nomads probably early Scythians!

  • @ace69errrr Yes, they do. :)

  • sounds very much like the native americans 1:20

    there are two different ways of the native culture the maternal clan and paternal clan and are very different one ruled by and woman and the other opposite they did have woman warriors and did cross the bering strait coming from that area at that time so...

  • An incredible find! Yet, as I watched the water warm water being poured to melt the ice - and gold floating... Heart breaking! Why - when it was obvious, there was a true find, that the whole ice block was not taken, to an appropriate place for de-frosting and examination. I understand the excitement of the find - but really, mindfulness was lacking! -- A very barbaric way to unveil a piece of history. The Ice Maiden's era would have taken more care. Sad. Yet, I am so thankful for the find!

  • Pazyryk#DNA_and_anthropogeneti­c_findings 

    the dna findings show the current/modern population to be descended from the ice maiden's people, and are mixed both mongoloid and indo European.
