Mind-boggling find in Crimea

Reading this, I was struck by how the number and purposes of some of the artifacts seem to be in complete congruence with modern Asatru thought: nine rings and nine bells, for example ("nine by nine the Choosers ride"). Of course, this is just a surface comparison, but if the grave really is Samartian, it would go a long way towards proving the basis of a coherent Proto Indo-European mythology: which would, potentially, help to fill many of the gaps we find in our lore. Fascinating stuff ...

An astonishing find will keep Russian archaeologists occupied for quite some time. Archaeological expedition from the Russian Ust-Alminsk region has made yet another sensational discovery.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
