The Lake Baikal is within the Republic of Buryatia itās a part of once Mongoliaā¦ and in the Siberia. They tried to become independent but Russia wonāt let them so they still politically are subjected to them.
Their demographic has different cultures and many still live in turds and are Nomads. They have nice folk songs. The landscape is unparalleled, steppe, desert, mountains and lakes with a much cooler temperatures.

Watch this interesting video about the lake, Lake Baikal is about 20% of earthās fresh waterā¦
@frustratedwriter @leerla73 If you think we have too many problems in our daily life watch this 80 years old granny how she does it with the bare minimum. When Iām 80 I wish to skate like her. I went with my friend in February (we used to skate a lot including some figure skating) but we were certainly rusty and wobly

British archaeologist Howard Carter and his workmen discover a step leading to the tomb of King Tutankhamen in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt on November 4, 1922.
When Carter first arrived in Egypt in 1891, most of the ancient Egyptian tombs had been discovered, though the little-known King Tutankhamen, who had died when he was 18, was still unaccounted for. After World War I, Carter began an intensive search for āKing Tutās Tomb,ā finally finding steps to the burial room hidden in the debris near the entrance of the nearby tomb of King Ramses VI in the Valley of the Kings. On November 26, 1922, Carter and fellow archaeologist Lord Carnarvon entered the interior chambers of the tomb, finding them miraculously
intact
Thus began a monumental excavation process in which Carter carefully explored the four-room tomb over several years, uncovering an incredible collection of several thousand objects. The most splendid architectural find was a stone sarcophagus containing three coffins nested within each other. Inside the final coffin, which was made out of solid gold, was the mummy of the boy-king Tutankhamen, preserved for more than 3,000 years. Most of these treasures are now housed in the Cairo Museum.

I think the winged suit gif is in Switzerlandā¦ these 2 options are probably fast, question is are they truly safeā¦ there are at times mishapsā¦ even people hiking in the Alps slip up and fall and dieā¦ there were many cases this yearā¦
What an achievement as a women then! Yet they tried to hide it!
I believe there are more cases of women disguised as a man, why would they want to be a soldier?
