When, Where and How the bodies were found:
The earliest Scythian mummy was discovered in 1865. The most recent Scythian mummy discovery was in 2006. All of the mummies have been found scattered within the Altain Mountains, in countries such as Mongolia, Russia, Siberia and Kazakhstan. These mummies were often stumbled upon whilst excavations in the same area where being conducted. This was because many of the mummies were found bunched together or in massive kurgans (grave mounds) near their ruler to follow them into the afterlife. The Ice Princess or "Ledi" for Lady, was found because Russian archaeologists were searching for ice lenses which they weren't sure if any mounds housed tombs or mummies.
