The thousand-year-old skeleton excavated in Siberia was dubbed the "dark dancer" due to the strange twisting posture, intriguing to scientists .

The "dark dancer" was about 30 years old when he died in the middle of the 7th century. - Experts doubted the strange posture of the skeleton with bad cause, the Siberian Times reported on May 22.

Archaeologists nicknamed the skeleton is Mikhail . "We talked with forensic and anthropological experts. Obviously his legs were tied, because if not, his limbs should be straightened. Most likely his hands were tied. " Volkov said. There are no examples of human remains tied up in the same tombs in Siberia.

This is not the only reason that the skeleton found in the grave of Ust-Ivanovka , Primorsky province, becomes abnormal. The other skeletons here belong to the elderly, who live unusually long under the Middle Ages, with a lifespan of 50 to 70.

The tomb is rectangular, covered with white sand without local origin, while other tombs are built in a circle. There is evidence that the man was shot dead with an arrow. One end of the name is inserted into this person's hip. The man is said to have come from the Mohe class of the Tunganic minority .

Archaeological groups speculate that men may die from deformities from tuberculosis or syphilis. They are conducting further research on the ancient skeleton.
