A bizarre medieval skeleton has been unearthed in Siberia by archaeologists who've branded it the 'Dark Ages dancer'.
Archaeologists say they are "amazed" by the skeleton's pose, believed to be from between the seventh and ninth century AD.
The dancer is believed to have been aged around 30 when he died.
But experts fear there may be a sinister explanation to his strange posture in his grave - that for unknown reasons his body was tied up when it was buried.
