National Geographic Ancient Caucasian Mummies Found In China.

The Tarim mummies are a series of mummies discovered in the Tarim Basin in present-day Xinjiang, China, which date from 1800 BCE to 200 CE. Some of the mummies are frequently associated with the presence of the Indo-European Tocharian languages in the Tarim Basin

Notable mummies are the tall, red-haired "Chärchän man" or the "Ur-David" (1000 BCE); his son (1000 BCE), a small 1-year-old baby with blond hair protruding from under a red and blue felt cap, and blue stones in place of the eyes; the "Hami Mummy" (c. 1400800 BCE), a "red-headed beauty" found in Qizilchoqa; and the "Witches of Subeshi" (4th or 3rd century BCE), who wore two foot long black felt conical hats with a flat brim.[5] Also found at Subeshi was a man with traces of a surgical operation on his neck; the incision is sewn up with sutures made of horsehair.

  • Why not test DNA and mystery is solved

  • china belongs to white people go back africa chinese

  • At 1:33, could they be talking about Amazons, the nation of women warriors in Greek Mythology?

  • @postmortem57 Yeah I believe so without a doubt. It's a fact there's polar shift, Niburu possible visits, to asteroids hitting Earth, etc, have without a doubt wiped out completely entire previous civilizations. I think this goes back billions of years, but most of history is lost. In Africa they have found metal spheres that date back a billion years ago. The interesting thing is that these spheres appear to have been manufactured. In Russia they found a 3D map dating to 120 Million years ago.

  • @SwaggerLikeUz what about this theory .... 20000 years ago civilization was the equivalent to the 18 century then a catastrophic event destroyed all the civilization but we still have some clues like redhead mommies and cocaine in egypt ... what do you think?

  • I think these People were called the Veracachos, theres similar stories in found in South America, to Austrailia, told by the aboriginals, & mummies found in California of Red Hair Whites who were pretty tall. Some believe they were originally from a lost Continent in the Pacific called Lemuria. They supposedly had advanced knowledge, with the ability to build megalithic structures.
