The Siberian Ice Maiden and the Scythian World

The article covers the discovery of the Siberian Ice Maiden, a 2,000‑year‑old Scythian woman frozen in permafrost. Using ground‑penetrating radar, 3D imaging, and DNA sequencing, scientists mapped her burial, identified her clothing, and linked her genetics to other Eurasian nomads. The study illuminates Scythian trade, burial customs, and the spread of metallurgy across the steppe.
