Archaeologists dig 6th century mummy in Mongolia wearing ‘adidas’
Proof of time travel?
The recent discovery of gravitational waves excited the science community because of the possibility that it could prove time travel is possible. However, a 6th century mummy dug by archaeologists might be one proof.
Locals alerted the Khovd Museum of a burial site in the Altai Mountains. The grave, which was found with a saddle, bridle, clay vase, wooden bowl, trough, kettle, remains of a horse and four sets of clothing, was 2,803 metres above sea level, reports the Siberian Times.
Due to its location and the cool temperature in the area, the three-metre deep tomb was well preserved. The mummy, based on the lack of bow in the tomb, indicates the corpse is a woman and not rich.
However, netizens noticed that the laces on the shoe on the woman looks like from sports brand adidas is proof of time travel, reports Metro. The woman is believed to have died about 1,500 years ago, but only her hands and feet, which were in a pair of trainers with the iconic three-stripe logo of adidas, were found.
B. Sukkbaatas, researcher at the museum, says they are unwrapping the corpse, and when the task is done, experts would be able to confirm the gender of the corpse.
Adolf Dassler registered Adidas on Aug 18, 1949. With headquarters in Herzogenaurach, Bavaria in Germany, Adidas is the largest sportswear manufacturer in Europe and the second-largest in the world with a €14.88 billion (AUD$21.9 billion) revenue in 2012. The brand Puma, a competitor, was founded earlier by Adolf’s brother Rudolf and is also located in the same German city.
