Herdsmen in Mongolia stumbled upon the remains of a woman believed to be 1500 years old. The woman, buried 9186 feet above sea level in a ten-foot deep grave, is wearing shoes which strongly resemble current sneakers. Also in her grave was a saddle, Mongolian clothes, an iron kettle, a trough, a wooden bowl, a clay vase, a bridle, a leather bag, goat bones, a travel bag, cotton coats, a sheep’s head, pillows, and a sacrificed horse.
