Skepticism
The correct spelling does indeed appear to be Altay, as that is how the Russian websites spell the name. Much more disturbing, however, is that I can find no peer-reviewed information on this mummy. Google returns copies of the BBC article (which isn't even of the discovery), clones of the Wikipedia article and a few brief mentions in tour guides. None of these include photographs or description. For an allegedly significant find on this magnitude that has had DNA studies, et al, this would appear rather unusual. I would like to suggest that if anyone has - or can find - a peer-reviewed reference (even if not online) that it be added, or that if no such reference can be located, that the lack of corroboration is mentioned.
