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.
