FILIPPOVKA, Russia, Aug. 7 (UPI) -- Russian archaeologists say they've found the intact burial chamber of a noblewoman from a powerful tribe that roamed the Eurasian steppes 2,500 years ago.
The burial site found near the village of Filippovka in southern Russia dates to the time of the Sarmatians, a group of Persian-speaking tribes that ruled in what are now parts of southern Russia, Ukraine and Central Asia from around 500 B.C. until A.D. 400, they said.
