I’m curious if they measured the skeletons. I’ve always read that people in the past were shorter than today. But the guy seems to have long legs. It’s hard to tell from a photograph, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the guy was 6ft. That seems pretty tall for someone who lived 5,000 years ago. Just an observation.
I noticed from past archaeological digs that height can be an indicator as to status. Tall people, more status. Some things never change.
These may have been Scythian, noted by the Greeks as being tall and formidable warriors. Or predecessors of the Aryans who invaded India.
