Fascinating documentary. I highly recommend it. A good book to provide additional context and a fascinating read is: The Woman in the Shaman's Body: Reclaiming the Feminine in Religion and Medicine by Barbara Tedlock.
This episode was shown on PBS and is available through Netflix.
"After unearthing evidence of a culture of ancient warrior women in the Russian steppes, Dr. Jeannine Davis-Kimball followed a trail of artifacts to a remote village in Western Mongolia, where her quest for a living link to a long-imagined tribe ended with a startling discovery. There, among the black-eyed Mongols, Davis-Kimball found a blond child, a 9-year-old girl named Meiramgul. Through DNA testing, Davis-Kimball finds that the DNA sequences of the warrior women and those from the girl of Mongolia are identical."
