Research workers of the German archaeological institute have discovered a mummy in permafrost at excavation work in Mongolia of approximately 2,500 years old.
At the "sensational find" of a sepulchre chamber of the Scythian rider people a crew of the German television sender ZDF were present.
In front of the camera the archaeologists opened the sepulchre where the mummy of the Scythian soldier was stored. The mummy, conserved in permafrost, carried still a fur coat and had a decorated gilded head ornament.
According to the scientists the discovery is similar with those of the legendary Ötzi in 1991, and the tattooed siberian ice princess from 1993.
Celt = "hidden." Kilt, a variation of Celt, has the same meaning and does the job unless you cross your legs Sharon Stone-style.
I'm of the opinion that when you lose a corpse and somebody else finds it and wants to study it, you no longer have claim over it.
Finders keepers.

Umm, no. Error has no rights.
Persia had trade with India and China and had many wars and near wars with both. When Alexander was in Persia he would have heard of Chinese emperors by name. Rome had extensive trade with India and indirectly with Indochina, so extensive that when Rome collapsed, so did India.
