Grave of an ancient 'Scythian warrior couple', a baby and an elderly servant 'who all died of an infection 2,500 years ago' is discovered in Siberia

-Couple were found in southern Siberia and are believed to have died in their 30s
-Also buried with the remains of a small child and that of an elderly servant
-Smattering of metal weapons, pots and food were also found in the grave
-Believed the family died from the same infection and not from battle wounds


An extraordinary 2,500-year-old grave of an ancient warrior couple has been found in Siberia.

The pair are believed to have died in their 30s and were buried with a baby and an 'elderly' servant woman, archaeologists say.

The elderly woman was likely in her 60s when she died and was entombed in a crumpled position under the feet of feet of the couple, who may have been spouses.

Remains of the child were scattered throughout the grave, which archaeologists say probably happened when rodents ate the flesh of the deceased.

Experts unearthing the find in southern Siberia say the four people probably succumbed simultaneously to the same infection, and the servant was buried alongside them to look after the family in the afterlife.

The warrior couple, the woman specifically, may be proof of the lost Scythian civilisation, which inhabited the region of modern-day Russia until 2,200 years ago.










By the way, do you guys think it is ok to unearth ancient tombs and burial grounds for reserach? Cause there seems to be a lot of people who are against it, saying that it is a desecration. I think there's a meme or growing hashtag community of people who don't want archeologists to explore/unearth tombs anymore.

2500 years is too soon to be digging up graves

If it was like 10k+ years thats fine...gives enough time for the soul to reincarnate

Inb4 people believe this DailyMail article but not the other one about Australia letting civilians arrest civilians for anything

wheres the kid? Looks like bidens been there first

Rats got to the kid and devoured the body apparently.

Dig 'em up, let 'em cry all they want, they're dead end of story.

We gotta find all the cool chit, only poocy's will cry "lEaVe tHeM aLonE" same one's that put roses on the steaks in a supermarket.

Edit: LULLL stay mad

actually pretty neat.jpg

Don't mind archaeological excavation as long as everything is done with care, and whatever is found is placed in a museum and/or somewhere safe after research
