In 1993 the 2,500-year-old mummified remains of a woman were discovered in the frozen Ukok Plateau in Siberia. Known as the 'Ukok Princess' or the 'Ice Maiden' in the media, she is thought to be one of the most significant archaeological finds of the 20th Century. Modern scientific techniques have begun to unravel the mysteries of who this woman may have been, how she died and why she seemed to have such significance to her people. However, her story has also gathered almost mythical status along the way, with strange stories emerging of a mysterious curse linked to the removal of her body from its burial site.
