The 2,500-Year-Old Frozen Woman Found In Siberia — And The Secrets Hidden Inside The Ice Maiden’s Tomb
The science recovered it.
And she remains, in the museum in Gorno-Altaysk, a window into a world that otherwise would have been completely and permanently lost.
Not all of her story can be told.
But enough of it remains that the telling is worth beginning.
She was the Ice Maiden of the Ukok Plateau.
She was 25 years old.
She was tattooed with fantastic creatures.
She had survived something — chronic illness, pain, the demands of life at high altitude in the Iron Age Altai — long enough to be buried with the ceremony that her status demanded.
