In the icy steppes of the Mongolian Altai, an archaeological expedition explores the 2,300yearold tomb of an Eastern Scythian warrior. Their practice of deep burial of the dead, combined with extreme climatic conditions, could uncover the last frozen tombs on the planet and shed light on this littleknown branch of Scythian civilization. But time is running out. Global warming is threatening the remains of these European pioneers who conquered the Asian side of the Altai.

The tombs are full of surprises. Attracted by the unusual hustle and bustle, Kazakh nomads set up their summer camp near the excavations. These people are among the last to be cut off from the modern world. Archaeology collaborates with ethnology to reveal disturbing similarities between these two peoples separated by 2,000 years.
