Ancient Celts in the Tarim Basin (in modern day China)

CELTS
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Celts
The Celts were a diverse group of tribal societies in Iron Age and Roman-era Europe who spoke Celtic languages.

PROTO-CELTIC LANGUAGE
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proto-Celtic
The Proto-Celtic language, also called Common Celtic, is the reconstructed ancestor language of all the known Celtic languages.

HALLSTADTT CULTURE
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halstatt_culture
The Hallstatt culture was the predominant Central European culture from the 8th to 6th centuries BC (European Early Iron Age), developing out of the Urnfield culture of the 12th century BC (Late Bronze Age) and followed in much of Central Europe by the La Tène culture.

TARIM MUMMIES
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarim_mummies
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, although the evidence is not totally conclusive.

TARIM BASIN
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarim_Basin
The Tarim Basin is a large endorheic basin occupying an area of about 906,500 km2 (350,000 sq mi). It is located in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region in China's far west.

CELTIC MYTHOLOGY
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celtic_mythology
Celtic mythology is the mythology of Celtic polytheism, apparently the religion of the Iron Age Celts. Like other Iron Age Europeans, the early Celts maintained a polytheistic mythology and religious structure. Among Celts in close contact with Ancient Rome, such as the Gauls and Celtiberians, their mythology did not survive the Roman empire, their subsequent conversion to Christianity, and the loss of their Celtic languages.

BRONZE AGE
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bronze_age
The Bronze Age of a culture is the period when the most advanced metalworking (at least in systematic and widespread use) in that culture used bronze. This could either have been based on the local smelting of copper and tin from ores, or trading for bronze from production areas elsewhere.

May be just the other way around. The Celtic people once lived in this basin before?

[pamle1]

@danielxu94560 Well, the world population 4,000 years ago was so comparatively low that they possibly may have been the first inhabitants of that region.

This is a misrepresentation of who they are, they were Mongoloid & Caucasian I am U5b1 from Mother & R1b1b2a1a2f from father. And everything points to this fact.

[papasmurfXXX]

@HungarianHistory2 Yeah, someone else made a connection to Celtic languages in Great Britain and Hungarian, why Celtic languages have Hungarian loan words all of a sudden... and may explain the complexity of celtic grammar.

[HungarianHistory2]

these arent celts but hungarians

@mrohyoudidntknow

continue searching! it's your business. But don't attach the ancient people of Tarim Basin to Celts. They don't nothing to them. They are ancestors of uyghurs.

[mrohyoudidntknow]

@uzbekkokcha you guys can still believe in what you want to believe. Who gives a shit to be honest with you. We'll continue to search for the missing pieces of our people's puzzle. Stop getting in the fucking way and leave us alone. We're on a mission to learn our people's history. And now, we're talking about the Celts. Which I can assure you, were much more cooler then the uyghurs.

[uzbekkokcha]

@uzbekkokcha I'm talking about the mummies founded in tarim basin

[uzbekkokcha]

actually the descendants of these ppl are modern uyghurs

[BeyondDogmaTV]

Bronze Age, Roman-era? You must be joking. The civilization of Ireland is not only the oldest known in Europe, it's also proven to be the most ancient and advanced civilization of the world. Why are people so brainwashed by the idea that civilization spread from the East to the West, without questioning? All the people who refuted that lie were suppressed by the Royal societies including their propaganda. I'm very, VERY interested why they wanted to do that...
