"DNA tests on the 2,000-year-old bones of a sword-wielding Iranian warrior
have revealed the broad-framed skeleton belonged to woman, an archaeologist
working in the northwestern city of Tabriz said on Saturday. "

Nice. Did it also show that she had shorn one breast off and rode a
horse? Of course, I'd doubt that, but maybe if it did, and people took an
interest in it, then they could make (since ancient history is a popular
subject for movies) a -real- "Amazon Women" movie. heh heh
