2,300-Year-Old Plush Bird from the Altai Mountains of Siberia (c.400-300 BCE): crafted with a felt body and reindeer-fur stuffing, all of which remains intact
This artifact was sealed within the frozen barrows of Pazyryk, Siberia, for more than two millennia, where a unique microclimate enabled it to be preserved. The permafrost ice lense formation that runs below the barrows provided an insulating layer, preventing the soil from heating during the summer and allowing it to quickly freeze during the winter; these conditions produced a separate microclimate within the stone walls of the barrows themselves, thereby aiding in the preservation of the artifacts inside.
This is just one of the many well-preserved artifacts that have been found at Pazyryk. These artifacts are attributed to the Scythian/Altaic cultures.
Currently housed at the Hermitage Museum.

Avatar thoughts: Avatars being fit for their times, Aang
This isn’t as long as my thoughts on Kyoshi being fit for her times. I’ve read a few places about Aang being what was needed because air is the element of freedom. And I don’t disagree with that. But I think it’s actually more complicated.
It’s useless to play the what if game of if he hadn’t gotten frozen in an iceberg and faced the invasion of the fire nation when it happened. Liklihood is he would have died.
But after 100 years of strife, he had something no one else in that world had. He knew a world without war. He knew peace.
Any Avatar we know of could have stopped Ozai, several would have killed him. But what then? You’ve ended a war. But what’s next. Aang was what the world needed then. Someone who knew peace, and knew how to communicate and compromise.
Fighting is easy when it’s all you’ve known. That’s why Aang was fit for his times, so he could lead them down a new path.
