A man and his horse

A Siberian man and his horse who were discovered after the Ice Princess (below), have stirred up some anger. After Russian archaeologists found him, they took him to their lab in Moscow for preservation and research. This angered the Altai Republic officials. They accused the Russians of “spiriting away a piece of their national heritage.” Officials have banned any further Russian digging. Since his horse is buried with him, he has been nicknamed the Horseman. This is the description given in “Archaeology Online”:

“The Horseman, 25 to 30 years old, had been impaled by an enemy’s weapon or animal’s horn. His face and hands have not survived well, but the rest of his skin and muscles and his braided hair are in good condition, as is a tattoo of a deer on his right shoulder. He was wearing a thick wool cap, high leather boots, and a marmot and sheepskin coat. The horseman was buried with his bow, arrows, ax and knife. The horse wore a harness richly decorated with griffins and animals carved in wood and covered in gold foil.”

The Ice Princess

Russian archaeologists found an ancient Pazyryk tomb. Time stood still inside because water had seeped in and froze everything perfectly into one big tomb-cicle.

In 1993 the Ice Princess, also known as "Ledi" for lady, was found near the border of Mongolia in Russia. She is said to be around 2,500 years old! She was buried in a 20 foot underground loghouse. The Pazyrak's believed that when you die you have an afterlife so they buried food water and anything else you would need with you.
Apparently wealthy, her headdress was so high, her coffin was 8 feet long. Also found with Ledi, were 6 horses and a 40 year man. The six horses buried with her are believed to be warriors with some relationship to each other and the horses were meant to carry them into battle in their next life.
