The burial of the Amazon with a headdress made of precious metal dated back to the second half of the 4th century BC was found by the members of the Don expedition of IA RAS during the examination of the cemetery Devitsa V of Voronezh Oblast. This is the first ever found in Middle Don river, and well preserved ceremonial headdress of a rich Scythian women, earlier archaeologists found only fragments of such headdresses. Valerii Guliaev, the head of Don expedition, announced the first results of the examination on the 6th of December at the session of Academic Council of IA RAS...
The burial was robbed in ancient times. The robbers broke into the tomb from the north when the floor had already fallen and the sepulcher was buried i.e. in 100 or 200 years after the barrow was filled. However, only northern and eastern parts of the tomb had been robbed where there were the remains of the teenager and one of the young women.
Apart from the spread remains we found in the northern part of the pit more than 30 iron arrow heads, an iron hook in the shape of a bird, fragments of horse harness, iron hooks for hanging harness, iron knives, fragments of molded vessels, multiple animals' bones. In filling the robbers' passage the broken black lacquer lacythus with red figure palmette dated back to the second third quarter of the 4th c BC was found.

You don’t want to work at a Scythian Amazon.
The work environment is brutal.

This sentence is difficult for me to make sense of; is it written in Amazonian?

That is why I will never be put in a grave.
Some sob in a couple thousand years will be farming genetically modified crops on top of me and plow me up.

The grave was not robbed. It was just some socialist guberment getting the death tax collected.

Ehhh... could be better - could be worse. There is considerable damage at all levels. I tried to get the neurosurgeon interested, but...
The cervical, following surgery, is improved. Best not to complain. :^) Thank you for asking.
