THE 7,000-YEAR-OLD WOMAN
|
Artists and researchers found the bones, studied the era, and assembled the stunning face of our Photo of the Week.
Dark-skinned and pale-eyed, this face stares at you to tell the true story of ancient Scandinavia. This woman was buried 7,000 years ago sitting cross-legged, on a bed of antlers, with a pendant and a belt with more than 100 animal teeth. Who was she?
