Archaeologists Found 2,100-Year-Old 'Iphone' In ‘Russian Atlantis’
This mysterious object was discovered in an ancient tomb belonging to the ancient fashionista, commonly known by the nickname "Natasha". Archaeologists believe that this is a woman who lived during the Xiongnu period in ancient Mongolia during the 3rd century BC. The tomb was discovered in a special site known as the "Russian Atlantis".
Among the stones set on it are turquoise, carnelian and nacre.
The size of this belt buckle is also larger than an iPhone, thus finding an iPhone in a 2,000-year-old grave is just a joke.
Dr Marina Kilunovskaya from the St Petersburg Institute of Material History Culture, who led the Tuva archaeological expedition, explains, “This site is a scientific sensation. We are incredibly lucky to have found these burials of rich Hun nomads that were not disturbed by (ancient) grave robbers.”
One of them, known as "Sleeping Beauty" - dressed in delicate silk, was first thought to be a priestess. However, after a closer look at the tools inside the tomb, scientists believe she was a leather designer. The second corpse was a weaver, resting with her wooden spindle packed inside a sewing bag.
The entire area is considered an ancient burial site from the Bronze Age to the time of Genghis Khan. Scientists also admit that they are racing against time to examine and study the sites before it's too late to save priceless treasures from damage by the returning water.
