Sophisticated tattoos found 2000 -year:
An international research team. Moreover, led by Archaeologist Gino Caspari from the University of Bern, analyzed tattoos on a Siberian ice mummy over 2000 years old. Therefore, The results suggest that tattooing was an already very sophisticated job in Siberian prehistoric society.
A new study Led by the University of Bern on a mummy of ice over 2000 years old has shown that tattooing was already an art technically sophisticated at the time. Nevertheless, almost comparable to current methods.
“We have created very high resolution documentation of these magnificent images, explains Dr. Moreover, Gino Caspari, archaeologist, at the microphone of SRF. Consequently, This made it possible to discover precisely how these tattoos were created”.
“On some of these mummies, tattoos are no longer even visible to the naked eye,” says Gino Caspari. In addition, “By taking images in the Near infrared, we can make them sophisticated tattoos found 2000 -year visible again. Meanwhile, And with a level of detail that allows us to reconstruct the manufacturing process.”
Siberian animal style
The tattoos examined belong to the Pazyryk culture and represent the Siberian animal style. For example, “These are often battle scenes. Consequently, On this mummy. for example, there is a scene on the right forearm where two tigers and a leopard kill two deer,” describes the archaeologist.

Although the exact meaning of these representations remains unclear due to the lack of written sources, Gino Caspari underlines their cultural importance: “What is clear is that these images were very strongly anchored in a ritual and cultural context and, in this sense, had a rich meaning”.
The Pazyryk culture, to which the mummy examines, is described as a people of riders. “We can consider them as the predecessors of Mongols,” said the archaeologist. The exceptional preservation of mummies and their tattoos is due to the permafrost of the Altai mountains.
A surprising result of the study is the similarity of the techniques used at the time with current methods. “These detailed infrared images show that these are in fact tattoos very similar to what we call today Handpoke [tatouage réalisé avec une aiguille tenue à la main]”. Says Gino Caspari. Research until now had supposed that the tattoos of that time was essentially sewn. which means that the pigments were applied on a wire.
