Siberian mummies

Siberian mummies refer to the preserved remains of ancient people found in Siberia, particularly among the Altai Mountains. These mummies, dating back thousands of years, provide valuable insights into the culture, customs, and health of prehistoric populations. The cold, dry conditions in this region naturally preserved the bodies and belongings, revealing details such as burial practices and ancient clothing. Notable finds include the “Ice Princess,” a well-preserved, noble Scythian woman, showcasing intricate tattoos and grave goods. These discoveries are significant for understanding human history and the lifestyles of ancient nomadic cultures in Asia.
