Although the Altai region faces extreme isolation from well know ancient historians and other civilizations, there still is a writer who talks about the semi nomadic tribes of the Siberian Ice Maiden in general.
This writers name is Herodotus. Herodotus lived in the 5th century and was born in Halicarnassus. He is well known through todays society and was very well know in his time. He is given the name 'Father of history.' He has provided historians with much help in enabling knowledge of the past this is because he can gather information systematically and test his own accuracy. He was the first of Historians to do this.

Herodotus stated that these people were fierce warriors and would drink the blood of their enemies skulls. He also says that these tribes would carry the dead bodies of their people on wagons until they found sacred lands for them to be buried in. Herodotus also talks about the burial ceremonies of these people. His description of this process matches the process the Siberian Ice Maiden had undergone.
