TRUTH !!

The Pazyryk carpet was discovered by Russian archeologist Sergei Rudenko in Siberia in 1949 while he was excavating burial mounds of the nomadic Pazyryk people. Radiocarbon dating places the age of the carpet to the 5th century BCE. It is made of dyed wool, and shows pictures of animals and hunters or warriors on horseback. The carpet was very well preserved because it was frozen in a block of ice. It is currently on display at the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia.
