    long flaxen blond hair, perfectly preserved in ponytails.  Items of weaved 
    material, identical to Celtic cloth, definitively proved the Indo-European 
    origins of the Tocharians, who not only built the fantastic Silk Road cities 
    which today lie deserted, but who are also credited with bringing Buddhism, 
    horses, the saddle, and iron working to China. This mummy was approximately 
    40-years old, was found in the main chamber of the same tomb. Her tall 
    stature, high nose, and red hair indicate that she was of European descent.</FONT></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.meshrep.com/PicOfDay/mummies/mummies.htm"><FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, Sans-Serif">In the late 1980's, perfectly preserved 3000-year-old mummies began appearing 
in a remote Taklamakan desert. They had long reddish-blond hair, European features 
and didn't appear to be the ancestors of modern-day Chinese people. 
Archaeologists now think they may have been the citizens of an ancient 
civilization that existed at the crossroads between China and Europe. </FONT></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.meshrep.com/PicOfDay/mummies/mummies.htm"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.meshrep.com/img/37BD1A0F-85FF-4B5F-852A-E63E2A3F590D" alt="Mummy 7" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.meshrep.com/PicOfDay/mummies/mummies.htm"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.meshrep.com/img/CB8699EC-9706-4EC8-B477-59E422260EAF" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.meshrep.com/PicOfDay/mummies/mummies.htm"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.meshrep.com/img/6089DCFC-5992-41C0-A19F-F74787479023" alt="Mummy 10" /></div></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/EE318595-F3BB-4441-8103-2A7A29BA2248/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
