The clay mask, discovered in Siberia and thought to belong to a warrior, was thought to contain human remains. New imaging techniques revealed that the remains belonged to a sheep, not a human.
Many years ago, remains of warriors were found in an
excavation site in Siberia. This warrior, who died 2100 years ago, was buried
with the burned body of 200 people. The immigrants covered the warrior's head
with a clay cap / mask.
The researchers thought for a long time that the mask made
of clay contained remains of a warrior. However, they did not open the mask in
order not to damage the historical relic, so they never saw what was inside.
The brain of sheep, not the warrior:
Shestakovsky Tombs The ruins that appeared in the excavation
area number 6 were actually found in 1968. Thanks to the newly developed
imaging techniques, the secret of the mask has been exposed. Dr. of the
researchers. Konstantin Kuper stated that finding the sheep's brain is quite surprising
for them.
It is stated that the warrior is an individual from the
Tagar people. It is stated that these people have quite complex and interesting
funeral customs. Among them, there are customs such as the mummification of the
deceased members and, finally, the burial of all family members.
The warrior is in a similar situation, according to experts.
In the memory of the warrior who is thought to have died in distant lands, it
is stated that the sheep's brain may have been used. Another possibility is
that such a procedure could have been made to 'make a clean start' to the
warrior, a sinful person, in the other world.
The warrior's mystery is not solved:
Another point that the researchers emphasize is shown as
excessive wear of the mummified corpse. Dr. Elga Vadetskaya says the dead were
partially mummified. Mummies wear out as they wait, and only the head remains
at the end. Sometimes even the skull can be damaged.
According to the expert, the brain of the sheep may have
been placed inside the skull during the restoration process after such a
situation occurred. There are many interesting customs of people who lived in
ancient times.
