Just to specify, these finds are probably not 2500 years old. The original Pazyryk finds- including the famously-dubbed "oldest rug in the world" - were originally said to date to 500 BC but a new radiocarbon dating of the rug showed that it, and the other contemporary burials, dated to around 260-250 BC. It seems, however, that few news sources or current books have caught onto this new dating yet.

He had with him the selfsame rifle you see with him now, all mounted in german silver and the name that he\'d give it set with silver wire under the checkpiece in latin: Et In Arcadia Ego. Common enough for a man to name his gun. His is the first and only ever I seen with an inscription from the classics. - Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian
