The designs are amazing, but there's a surprising lack of hearts and anchors.

When I first saw the headline this morning, I thought it must be a new find. Nevertheless, nice to see technical progress allowing reexamination.  If only the Russians were so respectful of the Crimean Scythian artefacts...

I had the Pazyryk-2 chief designs worked into my right arm, no hearts or anchors is something for which I'll remain eternally grateful  :)

My wife has a tattoo of a deer from the so-called Siberian Ice Maiden, another Pazyryk burial.
