Ancient warrior woman

In 1999, an English farmer stumbled upon a 2,000 year old grave belonging to a warrior. The ancient body was buried with a shield and sword typical of warrior burials. But, it also contained a mirror which puzzled archaeologists because those are a women’s item.

Then recently dna tests revealed that the body belonged to a woman, opening minds to the possibility that this was the grave of a woman warrior. Perhaps she was not the only one.

As our technology advances, we can begin to solve age old mysteries.
