Tarim mummies


 

The Tarim mummies are a series of Caucasoid mummies which have been excavated in the Tarim Basin (Eastern Central Asia, today the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of the People's Republic of China), and dated to the 2nd and 1st millenium BC. These mummies are indicative of the migrations of Indo-European people far to the East at a very early period, suggesting the possibility of cultural exchange with the Chinese world since around 1000 BC.
