Description:
Perfectly preserved 3000-year-old mummies have been unearthed in a remote Chinese desert, shedding new light on the contact between the East and West in the ancient world. But these don't appear to be the ancestors of the modern-day Chinese people, they have long, blonde hair and blue eyes. New evidence of the lost civilization of the Tocharians along the Silk Road offers more clues to this mystery from the past.

It also shows a group of people in China who look like they are 60 percent Caucasoid and 40 percent oriential. Check it out if you can find it.

Had I not seen the ... Read More

The "Mysterious Mummies of China", part of PBS' Nova Series, is a wonderful search into a hitherto unknown and, in the case of the Chinese government, ignored subject: the discovery of non-Chinese mummies in the Takla Makan desert of Western China. With fair or red hair and European features, these mummies threaten the long-standing idea in Chinese history that China developed without any contact until the Middle Ages. The documentary also provides a glimpse into the lack of official effort ... Read More
