I read some years ago that mummified bodies found buried on the desert plains of Mongolia were found wrapped in Scottish plaid or tartan. The theory was the Celts had accompanied Alexander the Great on his eastern conquests.

I’m trying to figure out why they concentrate on AD remains when it is fairly well known that the “tribes of europe” traded with the Bactria peoples who also traded with the pre-chin peoples of eastern asia as far back as 5000-7500 years ago.
I think NG is exhibiting it’s proclivity for “time compression” again...

Do you mean the Tarim Basin in Xinjiang ( http://theculturedtraveler.com/Archives/FEB2006/Takla_Makan.htm ). That’s more in China than Mongolia.
