The skull of the "Beauty Of Loulan" has been reconstructed and shows a dark haired Caucasian woman. The Uighur's have adopted the woman (and image) as the mother of their country and her picture is now contained on their money and other 'official' documents.

BTW, I've read that some archaeologists believe that Caucasians actually originate in Gansu Province, China.

The Curse Of The Red-Headed-Mummy

Do you know of any image on the web of this "Beauty Of Loulan"?

This should not surprise anyone. The "XiongNu" as the Chinese call it during the Han Dynasty had blonde hair (at least some do). After Han Wudi defeated the Xiongnu, it broke up into 3 tribes, one went east and became the latter Mongolians.

[Yingpan Man not only had a gold foil death mask -- a Greek tradition -- covering his blonde bearded face, but also wore elaborate golden embroidered red and maroon garments with seemingly Western European designs. His nearly 2.00 meter (six-foot, six-inch) long body is the tallest of all the mummies found so far and the clothes and artifacts discovered in the surrounding tombs suggest the highest level of Caucasoid civilization in the ancient Tarim Basin region.]


Sounds like he was a Viking. :^)

China owes me retribution for taking the land away from my Caucasian ancestors.

Since the mummies are 4,000 years old how can they be used as a rallying point for Muslims in Uighur? When did Islam reach Uighur? 1200 years ago?? I’ve never heard any, but our own home grown Nation of Islam, Muslim claim that Islam is a race based religion.
