Woman warrior found in Iranian tomb Gender determined by DNA testing, archaeologist says TEHRAN, Iran - These days, Iranian women are not even allowed to watch men compete on the soccer field, but 2,000 years ago they could have been carving the boys to pieces on the battlefield.
�Despite earlier comments that the warrior was a man because of the metal sword, DNA tests showed the skeleton inside the tomb belonged to a female warrior,� Alireza Hojabri-Nobari told the Hambastegi newspaper. He added that the tomb, which had all the trappings of a warrior�s final resting place, was one of 109 and that DNA tests were being carried out on the other skeletons. Hambastegi said other ancient tombs believed to belong to women warriors have been unearthed close to the Caspian Sea. |
