A 1,500-year-old Turkic woman, buried with a horse in the Altai Mountains, appears to be wearing “Adidas” trainers! Naturally there are those claiming time travel, but seriously this is quite an astonishing find as decorative shoes are pretty much unheard of so far back in time. In those days people were lucky to even have shoes, so to have some form of decoration clearly shows this woman was a very important person. The experts unravelling the mummy, however, do not believe she was from the elite caste, which makes the discovery all the more intriguing. She was buried with many other goods though, including a horse and some stunningly decorated textiles. The burial is reported to be the most intact Turkic burial ever found.
The burial has been found at 9,000 ft, hence the level of preservation, and it appears the horse was sacrificed to join the dead woman in her grave.
