Buried on a frozen plateau 2,400 years ago, the Siberian Ice Maiden was discovered in 1993 and scientists rushed to learn as much as they could from this incredible archaeological find. Nova's report compares the scientific study with the cultural attitudes of locals who want her reburied and further study of their ancestors banned. Using footage of the stark countryside, interviews with scientists and locals, and images of the well-preserved woman and her accouterments, the Nova team evoke an old struggle and create a portrait of an ancient woman and her culture that was richer than we could have imagined. Does scientific research trump native rights? Is there a middle ground between seeking knowledge and respecting the dead? These questions aren't answered, but are carefully explored in Siberian Ice Maiden. --Rob Lightner

Customer Reviews of NOVA: Ice Mummies - Siberian Ice Maiden
The Horse Buriers In 1993, Natalya Polosmak braved the high Altai Mountains to unearth a female mummy subsequently named Leti. The Russian scientist thereby acquainted the world with the artistic and horse-raising accomplishments of the scarcely known Pazyryk culture of southern Siberia. SIBERIAN ICE MAIDEN shows the breathtakingly daunting environment in which this high-altitude archaeology takes place and follows the scientific team through the challenges of preserving Leti; her beautifully crafted felt, silk and wool clothing; and her underground tomb's artifacts. The video works particularly well with Janet Buell's ANCIENT HORSEMEN OF SIBERIA and with the other Nova videos on FROZEN IN HEAVEN, MYSTERIOUS MUMMIES OF CHINA and RETURN OF THE ICEMAN.
