On her feet were modern-looking red and black boots, which were likened to a pair of Adidas trainers, when she was discovered a year ago.

There was also four changes of clothes, a sewing kit, a horse and ram’s head and a knife in her grave.

Galbadrakh Enkhbat, director of the Centre of Cultural Heritage of Mongolia, told the Siberian Times: ‘The felt boots are knee length, the soles are leather, and the toecap has sтιтched stripes in bright red colours.

“With these stripes, when the find was made public, they were dubbed as similar to Adidas shoes with the three stripes.”

 Scientists now believe the mummy, whose body was found a year ago, sustained a blow to the head before her death

He added: “Various sewing utensils were found with her. This is only our guess, but we think she could have been a seamstress.”

Scientists have now cleaned her up and believe she suffered a significant blow to the head before her death.

However it’s not known if this was her cause of death – sometime in the 10th century.

Archeologists believe the Turkik burial, the first found in Central Asia, will reveal details of ancient Mongolian life.

Speaking last year when the discovery was made, B. Sukhbaatar, a researcher at Khovd Museum, said: “The finds show us that these people were very skilled craftsmen.

“Given that this was the grave of a simple person, we understand that craft skills were rather well developed.

“The grave was three metres deep.”

Noting the remarkable boots, one Live Leak user said: “Didn’t know they had Adidas back then…”

Another asked: “The mummy had on some Adidas in the first pic?”
