I saw a documentary about these people probably 20 years ago. Found it fascinating. Seems what started as small outposts of traders flourished and became rather large groups. In the meantime so much has been learned about DNA and genetics. That aspect of their history should be equally fascinating.

I thought this would be a dark website where I could buy mummies. I'm disappointed.

Wow, interesting. Ancient populations that come and go and migrate and blend and fade away are a fascinating topic.

I started to watch and am very interested, but the musical score that is louder than the narrator is unforgivable.
I just don't understand why anyone wold put that degree of effort into something and then effectively mute the narrator with meaningless and pointless music. But thanks for the effort OP |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The first one I didn't seem to notice it much, there are other vids out there on the same subject though. These people must have had a tough life 3 to 4 thousand years ago. You were lucky to live to 40 years old |

I saw them when I was in China.
The Chinese had a lot of trouble admitting that caucasians were in Mongolia centuries ago. I don't see what the big deal was It's a "so what, who care and what difference does it make?" They could put those mummies on a road show. Dead Doods and Doodettes on Parade! |

Those the 6' tall or taller red headed euro genetic mummies?
I thought that documentary was scrubbed by our chicom overlords. |

My friend spent some time there and was surprised at the amount of Han-supremacist stuff going on there. Kinda bizarre. |

They don’t want to admit that inventions like “the wheel” and “metallurgy” and “weaving” and “goat herding” were actually introduced to Asia, by white men from the north. If it weren’t for those damned mummies, China would have lagged Sub Saharan Africa in technology. |
