It’s even worse than I thought, the incense is “charged with the mystic presence of India” 

wtf does that mean for real. where do you start unpacking that. there is no way for that to make any sense.

I would take a picture but I’m waiting for something to be done in the oven in the house and the sun has gone down and i’m gonna have to schlep out to the yurt in the dusk and hope the mosquitoes don’t Totally Eat Me ugh.

Hey but I have a light I can turn on out there. … if I plug in the extension cord in the dark. wheee.

A 2500 year old mummy that had some amazing tattoos.

WHAT.

NO FUCKING WAY.

YO HOLD ON. 

IT GETS BETTER.

This mummy, found in the  Altai mountains of Siberia, is actually that of a young woman who died at about the age of twenty-five; she is thought to have been a member of the Pazyryk tribe.

She was buried with six horses and two similarly-tattooed men (the horned griffon that decorates her shoulder also appears on the man buried closest to her, covering most of his right side), possibly escorts. She was also wearing a horse-hair wig, silk, and elaborate boots, which is all a level of ceremony that would have likely only been accorded to a woman of high rank. You didn’t get inked like this unless you were very important, and had worked your way up to that importance. 

…Hence, of course, the references to her by researchers as ‘The Ukok Princess,’ although due to the lack of weapons in her grave they have concluded that the woman was in fact a healer or a storyteller.  

And now I’m all consumed with curiosity: Who was she? What amazing things did she accomplish? Why these symbols, and what did they mean? Who were the two men alongside her?

The most informative article about it can be found here, although I would completely eat up any other information you guys could find.

One of my favourite dead ladies.

I was so obsessed with her, there was a National Geographic issue about her and I traced all the tattoos when I was a little kid. One of the original novels I’ve been working on forever has a character based on her in it.
