An amazing discovery of 2000-4000 year old Caucasian descent mummies in the Tarim basin of Western China occurred in the early 90s.

But more amazing than the discovery itself was the astonishing fact that the mummies were blond haired and long nosed.

In 1993, Victor Mayer a college professor collected DNA from the mummies and his tests verified that the bodies were all of European genetic stock.

Ancient Chinese texts from as early as the first millennium BC do mention groups of far-east dwelling Caucasian people referred to as the Bai, Yeuzhi, and Tocharians.

None, though, fully reveal how or why these people ended up there.

    • Did you not read the article? It’s not a case of pigmentation, it’s a very clear, distinct genetic difference. The fact that they are “caucasian” and of “european genetic stock” means that they are not in any way Chinese.
