The mummified bodies of a baby and an adult have been discovered in Siberia, as part of the Zelenyy Yar necropolis, which was only found in 1997.

The two bodies were covered in copper, with the adult having been plated with the metal from head to toe, according to a press release from the Yamal-Nenets autonomous region. The ancient mummy was also covered in the “best fur,” according to the Siberian Times.
