BS - not buying it!
I’ll tell you why, they refuse to publish the DNA, and specifically the Mitochondrial DNA of the subject.

Fossils in Peru from “Alien” Indians are said to have Mitochondrial DNA from Europe and the Middle East. They refuse to publish those findings.

Actually. This article below, though far fetched and I’m not 100% convinced - is more believable than this conclusion.

Are these the remnant of the Roman army defeated at Carhae by the Parthians and then captured again by the Han Chinese who defeated a Parthian army in a border war? As to the identity of this woman, Rome was effectively a global empire in the ancient world. There was more movement between regions than for a thousand years after the empire in the west disintegrated. so there is nothing intrinsically wrong with an African ending up in Britannia.Mauretania was a not insignificant part of the empire. Mauritanian units served in the Imperial Army and some Mauritanians rose to high estate in the empire, although these were mostly Berbers. The Roman Empire was a sophisticated and multicultural entity. Entree by non-Latins and Greeks was contingent upon significant cultural assimilation and fealty to the emperor through the cult of emperor worship. What is most interesting is this woman appears to have led an upper class lifestyle and was an adherent to Christianity. That is congruent with the thesis that upper class Roman matrons were the first large upper class group in the empire to embrace the new religion.
