3000 - 4000yrs old, Celtic Red Haired Mummies, of China

One of the better known mummies found in the Taklamakan Desert is an individual known as Cherchen Man, who was determined to be of Celtic origin. He is phenomenally well preserved for being around 3,000 years old

In addition to the clothing and physical features, the Cherchen Man’s burial site, along with the burial sites for around 200 others apparently of the same tribe, were also of a European style, featuring Celtic stone structures ringed by standing stone figures. It is a unique and significant find to discover hundreds of Bronze Age Celtic mummies in the Chinese desert. The Celts at the peak of their civilization, in around 300 BC, had their main settlements in France and the British Isles, with influence that extended perhaps as far east as the central plain of Turkey but no further, and certainly not as far as China.  read more..............
