The story of the discovery and excavation of a group of perfectly
preserved mummies buried around 1000 BC in Chinese Turkestan. An
element of mystery pervades the book, as it did the project.
Firstly all the mummies are intact, some of them with their
internal organs preserved. Secondly, they are Caucasian, which
turns upside down the theories that before the Chinese, the Mongols
lived in that part of the world.;This was the greatest textile find
outside of Egypt and it is the textiles which reveal one of the
most astounding connections in this case: one of the fabrics found
on the site is a plaid, similar enough in weave and colour to
relate this population to Ancient peoples in the region of Austria.
