The partially mummified remains of an infant who died 1,500 years ago has been found in Siberia.
The tragic infant’s remains were unearthed in excavations near Kurai village in Kosh-Agach district of the Altai Republic in southern Siberia. The baby’s remains were sealed in a tightly closed stone coffin, creating an isolated air chamber for over 1,500 years.
Unintentionally, this led to the child’s remains being mummified. The tiny human remains swathed in leather were found between two other burial mounds, presumably those of the parents.
