INteresting and weird.
It's surprising that the Chinese governemtn hasn't made much of an attempt to either destroy the site or suppress info about it.
Back when the first inklings were heard about caucasoid mummies being found in China predating some of the Chinese emperors, the government's response was pretty much, "There was always, and has always been only asiatic people in China's history, and there never were red headed mummies!"
(Afterwards they had a small lame stament about the hair being red stained from the years and that the mummies were asiatic in origin.. which promptly was refuted IIRC.)
/ at least that's the impression I get from the scattered info I recall seeing.

Yup, that's still pretty much the 'song-and-dance' but it doesn't hold much water since Victor Mair looked in the unlit back room in the museum at Urumchi and found all the Caucasian mummies back there.
