Remains of two Stone Age sisters discovered in a Czech mine show evidence of a tough laborious life. They lived around 6,000 years ago and were possibly victims of human sacrifice. The older sister was buried deeper and wore clothing made from plant materials, while the younger sister's attire included coarse linen. Genetic data suggests their eye and hair color, and despite new findings, the circumstances surrounding their deaths remain unclear. Analyses indicate their strong physique and lifespan, with the elder nearing 40 and the younger between 30 and 35.
The two sisters are believed to have been workers in a brutal mining community, gathering heavy rocks of flint to make weapons and tools.
Both of the sisters were around 4.8 feet (1.5m) tall and were slender but strong and capable of lifting heavy loads.
The eldest sister likely had blue eyes and blonde hair, while her younger sibling had hazel or green eyes with dark hair, according to genetic data.
New evidence suggests the sisters could have been victims of human sacrifice, but their exact cause of death remains mysterious.
