The story of the “Sleeping Beauty” Princess Tisul and the claim of a possible time travel is a complete hoax and a widely debunked piece of internet folklore. There is no credible evidence, archaeological record, or scientific report to support this sensational tale. The story, which has circulated online for years, originated from unreliable sources and has no basis in fact.

The Tisul story is a classic modern urban legend, containing many of the hallmarks of fictional narratives: a mysterious, perfectly preserved individual from the past, a sensational element like “time travel,” and a narrative of a secret discovery followed by a government cover-up. The details—such as a woman in a coffin filled with a mysterious liquid, and a black box that was supposedly a camera—are all designed to create a sense of mystery and intrigue, but they have never been verified by any reputable scientific body.

However, the real archaeological discoveries made in Siberia are no less astonishing and often involve remarkably preserved human remains. A genuine and well-documented find that parallels the “Sleeping Beauty” myth is the Siberian Ice Maiden, also known as the Princess of Ukok. Discovered in a permafrost burial mound in 1993, she was a 2,500-year-old mummy from the Pazyryk culture, whose intricate tattoos, clothing, and hair were incredibly preserved by the frozen environment. This real-world discovery provided invaluable insight into an ancient civilization, proving that while fictional tales of princesses and time travel are compelling, the truth of archaeology is often even more mind-blowing.
