"The Siberian Times has obtained intricate drawings of her remarkable
tattoos, and those of two men, possibly warriors, buried near her on the

in the 5th century BC by the Greek historian Herodotus - and the
colourful body artwork is seen as the best preserved and most elaborate
ancient tattoos anywhere in the world.
To many observers, it is startling how similar they are to modern-day tattoos. "
