Mummy Quiz

8. What animal was the standard of wealth in Pazyryk society and was commonly found buried with Pazyryk mummies?


Answer: c. horse.

The Pazyryks could not survive without their horses — either in this world or, they believed, in the next. As warriors and shepherds, they relied on horses for their seminomadic lifestyle. (From the EXPLORER film “Ice Tombs of Siberia.”)
