	Pazyryk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pazyryk is a local name for a valley in the Altai Mountains lying in Siberian Russia south of the modern city of Novosibirsk, near the borders with China, Kazakhstan and Mongolia.
		The Pazyryk culture has since been connected with the Scythians, a one of the earliest known Altaic people described by the ancient Greeks, whose very similar tombs are found across the steppes.
		There is also the possibility that the current inhabitants of the Altai region are descendants of the Pazyryk culture, a continuity that would accord with current ethnic politics: DNA is now being used to study the Pazyryk mummies.
