Discovered a noble woman's tomb 4.500 years ago

Scientists have discovered the tomb of a noble woman who lived about 4,500 years ago with many jewelry and costumes with 1,500 pearl beads and 100 pendants made from animal teeth.

According to scientists, this is most likely the tomb of a woman living in the Okunev cultural age , a bronze age society in Minusinsk Hollow, southern Siberia.

Inside the newly discovered tomb in Siberia.

Dr. Andrey Polyakov, head of the study, said that she lived around the mid-25th century to the 18th century BC. He said: "Inside the tomb is a woman and a child, along with a lot of special accessories. We have never seen a grave like that. We suspect that the items in the house. The grave has many cultural meanings, belonging to the rituals of that time ".

Mr. Andrey Polyakov also hopes to find more evidence next year and conduct further studies on this particular burial practice.

Jewelry made from teeth, animal horns found inside the tomb.

The expert group believed that this woman belonged to the aristocracy in her time because when buried there were many valuable jewelry items. They found about 100 pendants made from precious animal teeth and horns. Two vials of bones, one copper knife and more than 1,500 pearl beads on her outfit.

Textures of the sun on incense sticks.

There is a significant difference within the tomb that is the sun-shaped bowl of incense that resembles that of an ancient stone discovered in Siberia.

According to Dr. Andrey Polyakov, this is very difficult to understand because it was only seen on the cliffs or rocks. So it is not known what these sun shapes mean. Perhaps it is a cultural symbol of the Okunev cultural age.

All artifacts will be displayed at the Hermitage, St Petersburg Museum, Russia.
