It's amazing how you find these places. And it must feel relaxing to sleep underneath a sky blanketed in an endless sea of stars.

Awesome! As you saw in the video, it's not a developed tourist attraction and it's not simple to find, but it was a fun adventure to head out there ;)

This is very important archeology work. Whoever is the foremost expert on this particular graphics novel, I hope they keep up with this research and please update us with the latest info.

There's unfortunately not continual research happening at this moment. The rocks have been abandoned for quite a while.

I have read an article that China found a group of old tomb, all of the skeletons are measured more than 7 feet long, can you ask some local archaeologist to see if it is true, and find out where it is located.

Haven't heard about that one.

Nice find, you should do videos on the Pamiri Tajiks in the region, they aren't we'll known and are ancestors of Ancient Persian people's they are loyal to China and have a history of clashing with the Uyghurs, I think they live at higher elevation. BTW nice music, if you need any it be great if you can use my friend, Thastor's music.

Great video, under 4 minutes. Really nice. You may not know, but within the sub-culture of Chinese (and Indian) meditation schools, there is a category for working one's junk that includes internal and external methods, so it's likely those glyphs are exaggerated for a reason, probably in order to depict power more than mass.

+Johnny Laramie What's really interesting is that most archaeologists agree that these figures don't depict any Asian culture...it's actually a Caucasian people that were living in the area during 2000 BCE.

@johnnylaramie3722 8 жыл бұрын

Well that puts a kink in my little theory, but every culture up until the scientific ones had intrinsic energy cultivation practices, it's just the Indian and Chinese have survived whereas the Western ones were mostly eradicated.

@janabbey7868 8 жыл бұрын

Tocharians settled in the area long before Uyghur or Chinese and they are probably the artists. They were from the Caucasus area. Fascinating people. You can see some of them at the Urumqi Museum ;)

@wandererj4437 8 жыл бұрын

Tocharians only settled in southern Xinjiang/tarim basim ....this piece of art located in north Xinjiang .they're possibly created by Wusun people (one of the western ancestors of today's Kazakh people)

very interesting, worthwhile for research and study, have you ever gone to the LoLan area, it was a kingdom. last for quite long time, people there are clearly Caucasian, blond hair, old days, Chinese call those Caucasians (Se-Moo 色目) which means (colored eyes) their eyes are blue or green, Xinjiang is huge and has a very long history of human activities, I think you may find a lot of interesting stories.

I've seen the Loulan mummy at the Urumqi museum but I've never been to the Loulan area. As far as I know, foreigners aren't allowed to go there right now.
