Mongolian woman mummy buried a thousand a years ago wearing 'ADIDAS boots' and with a knife that's still shiny died after a massive blow to the head

Experts have been analysing the body and belongings found a year ago 

Despite her luxurious posessions it appears she was a local seamstress

And her distinctive red and black striped boots have now been restored

Reserachers believe the head injury was the cause of the woman's death

Boots of 1,500 years old female mummy. The mummy, believed to have lived around 1500 years ago, in the Mongolian part of the Altay Mountains and around Siberia, and was thought to belong to a Turkish woman, was meticulously unearthed by archaeologists in April. It was then cleaned and restored. A, D, 6 or century. In the National Museum of Mongolia.

Intriguing new details have emerged about a medieval mummy known for her 'Adidas' boots - which she wore more than a millennia ago. 

The body of the woman was discovered a year ago this week in the Altai mountains region of Mongolia.

And her body and possessions remained so remarkably preserved that experts are still uncovering some of the secrets they keep.

Now, scientists have discovered that the mummy suffered a significant blow to the head before her death.

Archaeologists in Mongolia are slowly unwrapping the mummy of a suspected ancient woman found preserved in the Altai Mountains. So far only one hand and her feet in modern-looking boots (pictured) are visible, but experts believe the find dates to around 1,500 years ago

Experts from the Centre of Cultural Heritage of Mongolia believe the body of a woman found in April last year, died up to 1,100 years ago.

The cause of her death is believed to have been a serious head wound.

Despite the seemingly lavish possessions she was buried with, archaeologists believe she was an 'ordinary' woman, rather than an aristocrat or royal.

The Mongolian team have suggested she may have been a seamstress, due to a sewing kit and fine embroidery found on her clothing and belongings.

The Mongolian woman - aged between 30 and 40 - hit headlines in April 2016, thanks to her modern-looking footwear, which some likened to a pair of trainers. 

In the intervening 12 months, scientists have been working to find out more about the mysterious Mongolian mummy.

And her trademark felt boots - boasting red and black stripes - have been carefully cleaned, with new pictures revealed today by The Siberian Times.

Experts from the Centre of Cultural Heritage of Mongolia now believe the woman died up to 1,100 years ago after suffering a serious head wound.

Initial examinations found that 'it was quite possible that the traces of a blow to the mummy's facial bones were the cause of her death'.

They are still seeking to verify the exact age of the burial, but they estimate it took place in the tenth century - more recently than originally thought.
