My sister went there, she was as awe struck as you.I grew up in California and knew many Chinese Americans in school and after. I swear that I recognized some of them in those ancient statues. And of course the Aucasians among them were a surprise too. Fascinating.

Aucasians = Caucasians! Sheeesh!

What a find! I'm sure Chinese archaelogy has its best days ahead...

"And of course the Caucasians among them were a surprise too. Fascinating." Yup. Probably related to this guy.

I don't know if it's still in the rotation, but a good movie "The Emperor and the Assassin" was recently being show on Starz. It's about the start of the Chin Dynasty.

Average Temperature: 1,250 - 1,750 mm What is that? If it's the length of a column of mercury versus temperature, that's quite a large temperature swing given the coefficient of thermal expansion.

Yup. Probably related to this guy.Oh, how I would love to see those mummies and the fabrics found with them. And I'd like a pair of fringed white deerskin boots and a red dress myself! It is fascinating to ponder a civilization so well developed that existed so much earlier than we usually think. Most of us think that everything worth knowing was thought of in the last 50 years. How wrong we are. Thanks for the link.

"What is that? If it's the length of a column of mercury versus temperature, that's quite a large temperature swing given the coefficient of thermal expansion." I actually saw that before I posted it but, I said, "what the Hell." (And then posted it, lol)
