Archaeologists have unearthed a remarkable 2,300-year-old plush swan in Siberia's Pazyryk Valley. The felt figurine is attributed to the Pazyryk culture, an Iron Age people thought to be part of the Saka cultural group. Researchers believe the swan symbolized life and was used as a symbol by the ancient nomads. The discovery has shed light on the region's burial practices and the creation myths of the time.
