Internet users have decided that time travel is real after a 1,500-year-old mummy was pictured wearing what appear to be Adidas boots.

The fashion-forward mummy was found 10,000 feet up in Mongolia’s Altai mountains - and dates from more than a millennia before the rise of the iconic German footwear brand.

One Liveleak user commented, ‘The mummy had on some Adidas in the first pic?’

Experts believe that the foot wrappings are, in fact, a sign of high status - rather than devotion to the sports brand beloved of Run DMC.‘‘This person was not from elite, and we believe it was likely a woman, because there is no bow in the tomb,’ B. Sukhbaatar, researcher at Khovd Museum, told the Siberian Times.

‘Now we are carefully unwrapping the body and once this is complete the specialists will be able to say more precisely about the gender.’
