Thanks Blam. Busy day, eh? :') I think this topic is a duplicate of sorts, but I'm going to ping it anyway. Picked up both "National Treasure" movies on DVD (1st one used and cheap, the second one the two-disk set for $22, change, and tax, at Costco as I joined) and plan to spend the rest of the night watching 'em. |

Research workers of the German archaeological institute have discovered a mummy in permafrost at excavation work in Mongolia of approximately 2,500 years old. At the "sensational find" of a sepulchre chamber of the Scythian rider people a crew of the German television sender ZDF were present. In front of the camera the archaeologists opened the sepulchre where the mummy of the Scythian soldier was stored. The mummy, conserved in permafrost, carried still a fur coat and had a decorated gilded head ornament. According to the scientists the discovery is similar with those of the legendary Ötzi in 1991, and the tattooed siberian ice princess from 1993.
