The 11th century burial includes a death mask, arrows and the fang of a bear to highlight the strength and power of the warlord. The man towered one foot (25cm) over his companions, but despite his bulk, his skeleton reveals that his arm was severed in his final battle. Archaeologists discovered the remains of the man they named Bogatyr - meaning 'great warrior' - in an ancient burial mound near Omsk in south western Siberia.
