Novosibirsk Akademgorodok archeologists put on exhibit for public viewing a carpet embroidered two thousand years ago. This carpet was found in 2009 in a kurgan of the nomadic empire of Hsiung-Nu in the Noin-Ula mountains on the territory of Mongolia, 120 kilometers of Ulan-Bator. The fabric embroidered with human figures was lying at the bottom of the burial pit, which had been robbed already in the ancient times. Restoration of the artifact, undertaken by restorers of the Moscow Kremlin museums took more than one year.
- The archeologists successfully recovered these masterpieces, then in the shape of clumps of mud, from a depth of 10-12 meters. Things like that are not in the Louvre, nor in the Hermitage, - says the deputy director of Institute of Archeology and ethnography of SO RAN, academician Vyacheslav Molodin.
