Ukok Plateau. Altai
Locals still consider the Ukok Plateau a sacred place. Shepherds go around the glaciers, trying not to disturb the peace of certain tracts.
Only ceremonial activities are allowed on the plateau. The most famous find made on the plateau is the Ak-Alakha burial ground.
In 1993, archaeologists discovered the mummy of a young noblewoman whose body was covered with tattoos. It turned out that the indigenous population called her Ak-Kadyn or White Lady.
According to their belief, Ak-Kadyn is the guardian of the gates of the underworld.
