Recently archaeologists unearthed the 1,500-year-old remains of a woman in Mongolia's Altai Mountains. But the cutting edge footwear, with the trademark stripes of the sportswear ‘Adidas’ brand, has been causing a stir on the internet, and fuelling talk of time travel.
Experts believe the mummy was a young Turkic woman. The corpse was buried with a saddle, bridle, clay vase, wooden bowl, trough, iron kettle, and an entire horse.
The Mongolian Cultural Heritage Centre is working to restoration the archaeological find and reports that the task is now 80% complete. The mummy wearing ‘Adidas boots’ will go on display in the National Museum of Mongolia from March.
