Amazon Warrior Women on PBS

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

For centuries, the myth of amazon warrior women has endured, even in the absence of any proof of their existence. But now Secrets of the Dead uncovers telling evidence: the 2,500-year-old remains of a nomad woman in Russia, buried in a battle position, with swords and arrowheads among the bones.
This is the discovery of an American scientist, Jeannine Davis-Kimball, who follows a trail of artifacts to a remote village in western Mongolia, then finds a living descendent: a nine-year-old girl with an exact genetic match to the ancient remains.
Secrets of the Dead: Amazon Warrior Women airs Wednesday at 8 p.m. on PBS (check local listings).

I refuse to say anything about that position.

the long-delayed sequel to Amazon Women on the Moon.
In seriousness-I wonder what places they researched for decendents? That would be interesting. (I don't have any TV channels so I can't watch this.)

― x j e r e m y (x Jeremy), Wednesday, 28 July 2004 17:44 (twenty-one years ago)

― Huk-El (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 28 July 2004 17:48 (twenty-one years ago)

I hate it when things I want to watch are on at the same time.

"Amish in the City": why do I love UPN reality shows so much?
