  • Shamans gathered in the Tyva Republic - the geographic centre of the Asian continent - to perform the rituals
  • The festival, called 'Call of 13 Shamans' involves a number ceremonies that originated in prehistory
  • They include throat-singing, dancing, playing drums and meditating in the area that is said to be 'spiritually' charged
  • Among the group were tribal leaders from Mexico, Mongolia, Greenland, Russia and Korea
  • DNA evidence suggests that Native Americans originated in Siberia, moving from Russia around 14,000 years ago
