"The baby's body was sealed in a closed stone casket, creating a vacuum for about 1,500 years, " said archaeologist Dr. Nikita Konstantinov, Gorno-Altaisk state university.

"Incidentally, this makes the baby's body naturally embalmed. This partially preserves the soft tissues of the body. Inside there is a piece of debris, the baby is wrapped in it. unfortunately the first part is not well preserved ".

Near the grave of the child is the grave of two adults, probably the parents. However, they were not embalmed.

"The mummy is a child, about a month old, or even born. We have not identified the gender."

The child is said to have been born in the Bulan-Kobinskaya era , in connection with the ancient Hungarian warriors - the predecessor of Zen vu Hung Attila . He is nicknamed "The whip of God " or "the scourge of heaven" , is the outstanding king of Hungary. For Western civilization, he embodied the destruction because many times he conquered Western countries like Rome and Italy.

Konstantinov said, the scientific community still knows very little about Bulan-Kobinskaya culture. They hoped, analyzing the DNA of the found remains would help to find out who migrated to Altai at that time.This baby mummy is currently preserved at the Gorno-Altaisk University and will be tested for DNA in Denmark.

King Attila was born in Hungary today. His descendants also lived there for centuries, however, his ancestors came from Eurasia.
