“I think this better explains the situation. Caucasians were there before the Chinese.”
Fluted columns are not some kind of collective racial knowledge of Caucasians. Even if it was an imported art, it would have more likely been Greek influence (through Seleucid Central Asia).
And we’re talking about Anhui here, not Xinjiang, where the Caucasian mummies were found. Anhui is one of the easternmost provinces in China. As far as any archaeological evidence goes, Caucasians were definitely not anywhere near there “first”.
I agree.
I was speaking specifically about the article in post #9 referring to Gansu Province. Archaeologist N Narain has suggested that Gansu is in fact the homeland of the people who eventually became the Europeans.
Now, if you believe professor Stephen Oppenheimer who says that the oldest Mongoloid skeleton ever found is only 10,000 years old...who do the 10k+ skeletons belong to?
