Mummies of the Tarim Basin: dessicated remains found in western China point to the spread of Indo-Europeans some 4,000 years ago

Article Abstract:

Mummified bodies found in western China appear to be caucasoid, raising questions and suggesting possibilities about the region's history and about prehistoric Eurasian migrations. The mummies are between 2,400 and 4,000 years old and many are remarkably well preserved, including intact clothing of festive hues. Their presence may help reveal the homeland of their people and several related ones, including those who founded the Kush empire in ancient Pakistan. Some of their cloth is distinctively northern European.
