Moreover, we have discovered Caucasian mummies from 4 to 5 thousand years ago in Asia. I have always believed that the Chinese had invented a few things, however, their inventive contribution was somewhat overstated. I believe that there the Caucasians initiated contact with them much earlier than the 'textbooks' have told us, and that we did indeed give them much of the technological innovations which they have attributed to themselves. However, i'm looking for more evidence we did in fact give them more than we have been credit for. Does anyone here have access to such evidence or books showing this? It would be greatly appreciated.   Thanks  Formula1 There is a lot about this topic in this thread...   https://www.stormfront.org/forum/t503937/     They have blond, brown and red hair, prominent noses and deep- set eyes. Some are nearly six feet tall. Buried along with them were textiles woven in plaid patterns strikingly similar to those of ancient European fabrics. Tests on one mummy linked it to a European genetic group     This caused a clamor in scientific circles. Conventional wisdom has long been that Western people didn't arrive in China until the establishment of the Silk Road, about 2,000 years ago. Chinese scholars have claimed, and Western scholars have agreed, that Chinese culture evolved in isolation, apart from the influence of Europe     The Caucasian mummies of the Takla Makan proved otherwise, indicating that Europeans forged eastward thousands of years before anyone thought and built a thriving agricultural society in what's now China's Xinjiang Province     The people native to this area of central Asia are a Turkic ethnic group called Uighurs (WE-gurs). They trace their ties to the region back to around 800 A.D., when their Turkic ancestors moved there and, anthropologists believe, mixed with a people known as the Tocharians.      The Tocharians, who were Buddhists, are thought to have built and ruled a string of cities along the central Asian stretch of the Silk Road. Study of Tocharian manuscripts has revealed that they used a language closely related to Celtic and Germanic tongues; their paintings reveal them to have been a fair-haired, blue-eyed people.     These distinctive characteristics have caused many scholars to link them with the mummy people, who predated them.     Ancient artworks also helped strengthen the link between the mummy people and the later Tocharians. At the top of a sheer cliff, deep in a complex of caves filled with Tocharian script, Mair found ancient paintings of fair-haired, blue-eyed people that closely resemble the mummies.     Altogether, the findings from the expedition indicate that what's now western China was in fact occupied by non-ethnically Chinese people well before the Silk Road was established, and that those people later built cities along the trade route - cities that fostered much of the important cultural exchange between East and West.        http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...ist_Monks.jpeg  A fresco of two Buddhist monks from the Bezeklik grottoes in China's Tarim Basin in the Xinjiang region. The White man on the left is thought to be a Tocharian, one of the descendants of the White Tarim mummies.      If true, it matters little, because the Chinese obviously came up with much of their own culture. If they borrowed some useful techniques or technologies, they wouldn't be the first to do so - and of course, an exchange could have gone both ways, as it has in more historic times.
