In the late 1980's, perfectly preserved 3000-year-old mummies began appearing in a remote Chinese desert. They had long reddish-blond hair, European features and didn't appear to be the ancestors of modern-day Chinese people.
In a find that could turn conventional history on its head, scientists using genetic testing have discovered that Caucasians lived in western China's Tarim Basin a thousand years before East Asians arrived.
Unearthed lying on her side as though in sleep, a single tuft of red hair falling across her head and ragged moccasins on her feet, the Beauty of Loulan is considered to be one of the best preserved mummies ever found.
Roughly 3800-years-old and discovered in the sands of Xinjiang province in western China, her emaciated features betray a facial bone structure that is surprisingly similar to Caucasian looking women.
A team of American and Chinese researchers working in a laboratory in Sweden used DNA samples to date and profile her mummy, confirming she and other mummies are of Indo-European descent.

If we assume that the descendants of the "mummy people" of western China were responsible for the Buddhist cave paintings in the same area 1000-1500 years later, it should be noted that many of the locals were depicted in those paintings with blue eyes and reddish-brown hair.

How on earth could anyone conclude by just observing the mummy, that they were blue eyed?

The Chinese pyramids most certainly were not built by "blond, blue-eyed people!" That's not even a legend. The pyramids were built during the Qin and Han dynasties, the tombs followed Chinese burial traditions, and contained the bodies of deceased Chinese emperors. Through and through Chinese... case closed, morons!

@formyeyezz BLACK PEOPLE IN NORTHERN EUROPE SUFFER FROM SOFT BONES BECAUSE THEIR SKIN CAN'T ABSORB SUNLIGHT TO MAKE VITAMIN D, AFRICANS ALSO SUFFER FROM THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF SKIN CANCER.
