Chinas first contact with the West dates back to 200BC when Chinas emperor Wu Di wanted to establish an alliance with the West against the marauding Huns, then based in Mongolia. However, the discovery of the mummies suggests that Caucasians were settled in a part of China thousands of years before Wu Di: the notion that they arrived in Xinjiang before the first East Asians is truly explosive.
Xinjiang is dominated by the Uighurs, who resent what they see as intrusion by the Han Chinese. The tensions which have spilled over into violent clashes in recent years.
Whatever the reason for the Chinese decision, it has caused great disappointment at the Pennsylvania museum where the Secrets of the Silk Road were due to go on show after successful exhibitions in California and Texas without major reproductions.

Bill Clinton would think she’s hot.
I don’t even think Laz would go there.

Chinese archaeologists suffer under ‘state approved dogma’ impositions for what they can and cannot explore, dig, and find.
About twenty five years ago or so, an archaeologist from the U.S. was in China, and a Chinese colleague asked him if there were a way to tell if pottery had been made by a Caucasian.
The answer, of course, is no.
He never heard anymore about it.

My wife commented on the cemetery on the way home from the big town today. She thought there were a lot of people buried in this one in "those little jars". She said they're called urines, right? I said you mean urns? She said whatever. Urine there aren't you?

You underestimate Laz.Way to go Laz.
This museum coulda had class. It coulda been a contender. It coulda been somebody.
This wasn't about some tiff between the Hanz and the Wegooers.
They heard Laz was headed for town...
