Altai's wrestle on horseback and play some sort of polo/rugby on horseback where the ball is a 60 lbs goat carcass
This Siberian Ice Maiden was found in a burial site (called a Kurgan) in one of the valleys and it made a lot of waves within the indigenous communities. There were tons of superstitions going around about her removal from Altai (things about how the archaeologists who excavated and took her away all died in a helicopter crash), and strong lobbying ended up bringing her back to Altai
