2,000-year-old Siberian 'ice mummy' had intricate tattoos: Study
High-resolution imaging of tattoos found on an over 2,000-year-old Siberian "ice mummy" revealed designs so intricate that modern tattooists would find them challenging, researchers said. The tattoos were of leopards, a stag, a rooster, and a mythical half-lion and half-eagle. The tattooed woman, aged 50, belonged to the nomadic Pazyryk people who lived on the steppe between China and Europe.
