About 9,000 years ago, an influential and respected woman was put to rest in a burial in Bad Dürrenberg, Germany. She was buried in a sitting position with a child of about six months in her arms. Her spectacular clothes and lavish burial offer evidence she was a woman of high social status. A recent study may provide more information about her.

Yeah, this feels AI-written in parts (especially the “what does the word shaman mean” and the Viking-tangent) but amazing find!
