Great Uyghur Civilization -The Tarim Mummies and Tocharians

In the late 1980's, perfectly preserved 3000-4000 year old European looking mummies began appearing in Taklamakn desert ,east turkistan(xinjiang).
some western archeologist calim these Mummies were "Europeans" ,and later they called them as "tocharians" ,even though there is no evidence that can prove these mummies related to tocharians or chinese called "yuezhi" people,who appared in historical records 2000 years later and speak a indo-european languge .
but this is not the important problem here .the most rediculous thing is some chinese scientisit (if they can be called as scientisit) claim that these white people "had been totaly slaughtered", "have been excavated" ,or "Was swallowed up by desert" . it is clear that they are trying to seperate these Tarim mummies from the indigneus Uyghur people .
why? please read this :
"..In the preface to the 2002 book, "Ancient Corpses of Xinjiang," written by Chinese archeologist Wang Huabing, the Chinese historian and Sanskrit specialist Ji Xianlin soundly denounced the use of the mummies by Uighur separatists as proof that Xinjiang should not belong to China.
"What has stirred up the most excitement in academic circles, both in the East and the West, is the fact that the ancient corpses of "white (Caucasoid/Europid) people' have been excavated," Jin wrote.
"However, within China a small group of ethnic separatists have taken advantage of this opportunity to stir up trouble and are acting like buffoons, (styling) themselves the descendants of these ancient "white people' with the aim of dividing the motherland."......."

"It is unfortunate that the issue has been so politicized because it has created a lot of difficulties," Victor Mair, a specialist in the ancient corpses and co-author of "Mummies of the Tarim Basin", told AFP.
"My research has shown that in the second millennium BC, the oldest mummies, like the Loulan Beauty, were the earliest settlers in the Tarim Basin.
"From the evidence available, we have found that during the first 1,000 years after the Loulan Beauty, the only settlers in the Tarim Basin were Caucasoid."

whatever the history of Tarim mummies ,whatever who were they and where they came from, one thing shouldn't be neglegted or distorted that modern day uyghurs are the decendents of these Tarim mummies and later Tocharians .

the whole Tocharian story is a bullshit. Tocharians or Yuezhi in chinese history appeared during the time of Han dynesty, around 2BC-1 AD. but these Tarim mummies have more than 4000 years of history. so how come the mummies considered as Tocharian which lived 2000 years later？and there is no single proof that these mummies spoken indo/european language. the eurocentric dickheads came to tarim and saw these white mummies and found some records of caucasian Yuezhi people in chinese history.

[Pantekin]

and connected them without any proof!!. in fact , there were many caucasian people lived on this land. the scythians, Dingling, the Qangqil ( Qangli) and even white Huns. so why should these mummies should specifially connected to Tocharians but not other caocasian people in Tarim? this is a big made up lie of eurocentric scholars, just like Professor Mair, who dosen't even know that there are many old ston age human settlements around Tarim basin.

the original uyghurs were turks who encroached on tocharian land (then known as the kushan empire). once the uyghurs conquered this area they dealt with the tocharians by mass slaughter, rape, etc the reason some uyghur may look tocharian is because the fact that the surviving tocharians had no choice but to assimilate, and many women were taken as harem wives. the claim that uyghurs are the descendants of the tocharian civilization is false

@hobosmurf : are you telling a fairytale? no thanks.  you dont have any single proof of so called "massacare", do you?

[DragonOfQin]

@TheDamingo I am American so what are you talking about? Maybe you need to be smarter. Start getting As and take Advanced Placement World History and pay $12 per month for cable TVs and watch NAT Geo, Discovery, History, etc. You dont have to believe me. Believe in the top academics. Good that you admit "I dont no soo much about history". You cant even spell no wonder your view is narrow minded and warped. Take my advice you wont regret it.

[TheDamingo]

@DragonOfQin I will for sure not read the same book you are reading. And honest I dont no soo much about history and im not interested. Everybody is telling there own story and everybody can prove it in there own way. Like Yuezhi people own these mummies with no proof but try to look at things from another wiev too. When I look at booth side Chinese realy look ridiculous and just killing these people to hide there story. Sorry i dont believe in China anymore and this is my opinion. Thanks

[DragonOfQin]

@TheDamingo Are you retarded? The world now.... well with the exception of you support the "Out of Africa Theory". (Nat GEO Human Genome Proj) Everyone came from Africa dumbass. The video you shared with me was to support that "Out of Africa Theory" and to disprove the Chinese Nationalist scientist's claim that Chinese people did not come from Africa and came from specifically the Peking Man. My God please watch and read more.... *facepalm*

[TheDamingo]

@DragonOfQin ok im maybe deluded. Maybe your own Professor is deluded too with his own projekt :) he was almost crying when he had to tell the truth. But respect!! for this Chinese man. Tjeck it out yourself ;) youtube.com/watch?v=MJLB1a4EBJ­o IF you want to look at history from the another side then I can send you some book. For free...

[DragonOfQin]

@TheDamingo you're deluded. You're actually african. Hans are Qin.

Ancient Scythians were white. Germans descend from this line. The Huns are related to Uhygurs and Magyars. Scythians aren't related to these people. Maybe now we can see where everyone lived in ancient days and who built what.

[TheDamingo]

manipulated western history. These people cant proof anything for you because maybe your history is not true. I dont know whats true but maybe Uyghur people have right. Only kazakh and Uyghur people can read these thing near mummies. Why can´t rest of the world? only thing you can say is this is some witch things :)

China don't have history they are Africans ;) stop killing Uyghur people and their history.

@Pantekin werent qanglis and huns turkic speaking? its pretty well established that the original turkic speakers were mongoloid, and the scythians and other iranic peoples were indo european as well. there is no evidence for any group of people with nordic features that were not indo european in origin, and regardless that doesnt make them the uyghurs predecessors. thats just like saying the fully sinicized people of xinjiang most likely in the future are the same as uyghurs today
