Frozen Tombs of Siberia

The Frozen Tombs of Siberia are permafrost-covered cemeteries where bodies have been preserved naturally due to extremely cold temperatures and low humidity. Located in Russia’s northern regions, these tombs can keep remains remarkably intact for centuries. They offer valuable insights for scientists studying ancient populations, preserving biological materials like hair and soft tissues. The frozen environment slows decomposition, making these sites important archaeological resources. These tombs highlight Siberia's harsh climate and its unique role in preserving history deep beneath the surface.
