Is anyone else here getting a little emotional about the idea of grieving relatives burying a teenage girl with her special collection? Whatever her reason, she really cared about all those ankle bones, and her family wanted to make sure that she could keep them. Maybe even they didn't understand why they were important to her, but she was important to them, so they buried their daughter with her sheep ankle bones.

Be cool to each other. We'll welcome most occult themes, it's okay if you stray from witchcraft a bit.

That is a traditional Assyk game. She was probably a champion. https://ich.unesco.org/en/RL/kazakh-traditional-assyk-games-01086
I noticed only boys play the game now. Either way, I'd like to imagine that she was buried with them so that she could continue to play in their afterlife. Humans can be so cute... sometimes
I think it is just competitive for boys. We used to play in school with girls and boys. Girls usually were better at it)
Neat :)
