> tattoos on mummies On that note, I'd recommend the title scene in the Iranian movie Qeysar [0] from 1969. A number of the same motifs from 2.5k years ago are still around in Indo-Iranian culture. Some of the older generations of Pakhtun Hindus still tattoo in that style [1], as a number of the central tribes of the Pakhtun community were Saka [2]. A granddaughter from the community has been working on documenting the culture for a couple years now [3] On a separate note, highly recommend watching New Age Iranian Cinema (1965-1980ish). It's good stuff.
