A 400-year-old tomb was discovered with the body of a young woman, accompanied by ominous signs. The remains, nicknamed Zosia, were found with an oxidized sickle blade over her throat and a lock attached to her foot. These macabre indications suggest a community fearful of the deceased rising again.

The tomb was unearthed by arqueólogos in 2022, and its contents drew international attention. A documentary followed investigators as they recreated the possible appearance of Zosia's face.

Scientists have now published a systematic study on Zosia, utilizing ancient DNA and cutting-edge analysis to uncover more about her. Further details on the investigation and its findings are available.
