Mummy of the Ukok Princess

The Mummy of the Ukok Princess is a remarkably well-preserved ancient Siberian corpse from around 2,500 years ago, discovered in the Altai Mountains of Russia. She is believed to have been a high-ranking woman or nobility, possibly a priestess or shaman, based on her elaborate clothing and artifacts found with her. Her well-preserved state provides valuable insights into the culture, beliefs, and burial practices of the Pazyryk culture. Her body was preserved by permafrost, allowing researchers to study her remains, clothing, and ornaments, which reveal a sophisticated society with rich spiritual traditions.
