She is to be kept in a special mausoleum at the Republican National Museum in capital Gorno-Altaisk, where eventually she will be displayed in a glass sarcophagus to tourists.
For the past 19 years, since her discovery, she was kept mainly at a scientific institute in Novosibirsk, apart from a period in Moscow when her remains were treated by the same scientists who preserve the body of Soviet founder Vladimir Lenin. Clues to Lost Prehistoric Code Discovered in Mesopotamia. The tokens, in this instance, had air bubbles around them, suggesting they were wrapped in cloth before being put in the ball, the cloth disintegrating over time.

What someone was trying to communicate by creating such tokens is unknown. "That's a mystery," Woods told LiveScience in an interview. Rongorongo. Ancient-Wisdom - Online Guide to Prehistory.

C’est du moins ce qu’il ressort des fouilles menées entre 1992 et 1995 par Jeannine Davis-Kimball, directrice du Centre de Recherches de la Civilisation Nomade Eurasiatique à l’université de Berkeley en Californie. Ce sont en fait davantage des squelettes féminins qui ont été retrouvés dans les Kourganes; les tumulus funéraires antiques (600 et 200 av. JC) que l’on trouve en Russie, au kazakhstan et en Chine à Banpo. Celle-ci a pu noter que dans tous les musées d’Eurasie qu’elle a systématiquement visité pour en connaitre les artefacts conservés, se retrouvent les traces de prêtresses, femmes-chamanes, et curieusement, à partir de -4000 environ, guerrières, ce qui n’a pas manqué d’être mis en relation avec le mythe des Amazones.

The Ancient Enigma. Indians migrated to Australia 4,000 years ago, genes show. The Indo-Australian connection thickens. The arrival of the European Christians in Australia was a catastrophic event for the aboriginal peoples of that island.
They never recovered from that encounter and today eke out a shambolic and reduced existence, almost as though the karma-phala of their exterminating the megafauna of the island had caught up with them.

Australian Original Astronomical Rock Engravings Will Re-Write World History. 9th April 2013 By Steven Strong Contributing Writer for Wake Up World Original Australian archaeology serving astronomical purposes found in the Central Coast of NSW (Australia) is both so numerous in number (>2000 star markers) and diverse in applications (star markers, constellation alignments, solstices, plasma events and possibility of binary star system and polar shifts) and the implications of this call into question many mistaken assumptions of Original prehistory.

A giant "monumental" stone structure discovered beneath the waters of the Sea of Galilee in Israel has archaeologists puzzled as to its purpose and even how long ago it was built.

Discovery[edit] The site was first noted in a survey conducted by Istanbul University and the University of Chicago in 1963. American archaeologist Peter Benedict identified it as being possibly neolithic[6] and postulated that the Neolithic layers were topped by Byzantine and Islamic cemeteries. The survey noted numerous flints. Göbekli Tepe, Turkey: a new wonder of the ancient world.
Two years ago a bare trickle of visitors found their way to this remote hilltop revelation. Now, however, visitors are building their entire itineraries around Göbekli Tepe, surest of shoo-ins for future World Heritage Status, and foundations are already in place for a protective site canopy, a nearby visitors’ centre and a ticket office.
