A burial of a Mongolian warrior has been found in southern Russia, near the town of Kokorya and close to the modern border of Mongolia.
The find is very rare in that the warrior was an archer and many of the artefacts have been preserved due to the weather conditions of the burial, and no other finds of this type have been discovered in the same region.
The report states:
“Dr Nikita Konstantinov, Head of the Museum of Gorno-Altaisk State University, said: ‘At the moment we have a birch bark quiver, two bone plates with elaborated ornaments, iron arrowheads, wooden arrow shafts, birch bark linings for a saddle, the remains of ribbons, likely silk, and what is left of a leather strap.’ ”
That said, any connection, relation or comparison with Robin Hood is utter bollocks.
I am sorry for swearing, but these annoying headlines are only used for media hype – it’s not science at all, and neither is there any evidence this person was similar to Robin Hood. It’s extremely annoying and places false ideas into the reader’s mind about the buried individual.
It’s a remarkable find and we await more news when the coffin is finally opened…
