"There were no "Celtic Steppe cultures". From what I hear, there were no Celtic cultural artifacts further east than Anatolia. If one stays on the Eurasian mass, they don't go further east than modern Hungary. In this region, they met the incoming Scythians, and much evidence exists of co-operation and intermarriage. But htere were no "Celtic Steppe culture"."

Jacob, you've let your history/archaeology/anthropology slip horribly out of date. They are finding Celtic (Proto-Celtic) influence all the way to Beijing. Also, Read Victor Mair's book The Tarim Mummies

The Curse Of The Red-Headed Mummy

Fedora, I wonder if these are the Hakka we were talking about last night? Remember that I said during the drought that the people who went toward Europe were the Schytians and those who went in the opposite direction were Hakka, Han, Hun and Saka.

The Altaic shaman mask in the beginning of video # 5 is definitely celtic.

Interesting to see the age-old teachings of Dr. Gene Scott on the "lost" tribes/Kingdom of Israel vindicated month after month with "discoveries" like these.

Re #17

Local scholars in Korea lean toward Xiongnu(Hun?) as a likely candidate who showed up in S.E. Korea and left these artifacts in their tombs. They employed the same burial method as Xiongnu's found in N.W. China.

I think that's a hypothesis worth exploring. It'd be interesting to compare the finds from this site with Scythian sites in Iran, Russia, and Kushan-dynasty India. The Scythians conquered India in 120 AD, which would be only a short period before the 3rd-century AD Scythian migration mentioned in the article.

Was it really "Celtic", or just looked similar? THe TOcharians were mediterranean in racial type, I belive. ALso, not all Caucasians are Indo-European.
