The oldest paper ever found has the Tocharian language written on it.
Professor Victor Mair believes these people (The Curse Of The Red-Headed Mummy) are descendents of the Tocharian speaking people.
Also. in his book,The Tarim Mummies, he says that the Tocharian language is most closely related to an ancient Celtic language.
The red haired mummies with Celtic style dresses found in Tarim Basin of Western China are generally considered Tokarians or their ancestors.

Err I think that's Klingon, not Tocharian.

I can't read you "BCE" time periods. What are those in B.C. and A.D.?
Say that again? The Tocharians didn't indulge in the early palatization of their velars?
Truly shocking beyond belief!
from the planet Tochis?
Exactly; well said.
Thank you
>>>I can't read you "BCE" time periods. What are those in B.C. and A.D.?
Keep in mind that archaeology is an international discipline. For many of the people doing this research, Jesus is not the Christ and not their Lord. Would you expect the Jews working with Israeli antiquities to use such terminology? Do you object to physicists and chemists using the metric system?
Then the Jews should use their historical calendar, which dates back over 5,700 years. "BCE" and "CE" are PC terms used by liberals and other assorted haters of Western civilization to denigrate the Christian roots of that civilization. Like other PC terms, they are used as part of a long term strategy to change the English language to reflect the beliefs of the Left. The model is the Newspeak described by George Orwell in his prophetic novel, 1984.
It may be that it was common for Scythians to live in wagons rather than houses, i.e., to be nomadic. If the Tocharians were of this group there might be drawings of these ancient winnebagos.

Could be. One of the oldest wheels (of unexpected high quality for its age) was found in this area. The deep steppes were unaccessable to these people without the horse and wagon...the world's oldest pair of pants was also discovered in this area because pants were needed when riding horses.
