Tibet discovered the burial of the unknown “Aryan” people

"The beauty of Sinohe". She more than 3800 years, so that for such a ripe old age should be retained as the ideal

Chinese and American archaeologists have studied the burial, which number more than 4 thousand years. Buried in these people have virtually nothing in common with the Chinese, nor the modern Tibetans.

Ancient burial, even if such a venerable age, by themselves not so rare. Egyptian pyramids at over half a millennium, first burial rights have found at Neanderthal sites, which generally belong to other branches of biological Homo sapiens, an extinct before the last glacial period. The interest of scientists led to no time dumping, and a number of strange features, explained that while not completely successful.

Protruding from the ground poles replace tombstones, and the shape of their vertices can determine the sex of the deceased

This strange

Burial is in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. This is the northern part of Tibet, the least populated and most severe environmental conditions in the region of China.

Despite the existence of rivers, most of the land here is a desert with few oases, the newly discovered oil fields and graves that were discovered at the beginning of last century.

From a distance it may seem that in the picture - wrapped in some old fabric. But in fact the woman at the time of the image in 1910, has been dead for over thirty-five centuries, and survived only because of the dry and cold climate of high mountains

Burial, a recent study which is devoted to material New York Times, containing the mummies of people not Mongoloid appearance. Their bodies lie in the upside down boat, but the graves - genital phallic symbols. Whence came the blond, tall, with not Asian facial features people and where did they go?

Now in the Xinjiang Uygur region inhabited by the Uighurs, Chinese, Kazakhs, Mongols, and several dozen nationalities, among which there are practically no Europeans, except for a small Russian community. Since the Sino-Uighur collisions occur here regularly, talk about the origin of the mummies is not only scientists. Local nationalists from different ethnic communities were not averse to declare the mummy "Aryan" the exterior of their ancestors.

As often happens, genetics ideologues upset. Genetic analysis (of the mummies have been well-preserved DNA molecule) showed that the ancient inhabitants of northern Tibet, carried the signs of both Europeans and the inhabitants of Siberia. However, all the mysteries of the recently published in the journal BMC Biology study is not allowed.
From Tibet to Norway? Or vice versa?

In an interview with New York Times Victor Meyer, an expert on the history of the Tarim Basin of Northern Tibet from the University of Pennsylvania, pointed out several interesting features in the excavated between 2003 and 2005 burials.

It looks Tarim Basin from space. Sand, stones, dust and mountains - however, a few millennia ago, this area was more hospitable

Some items from among the scientists found similar to findings made earlier, but not in Tibet, and in Europe. Mayer does not exclude the connection with the burial customs of the Vikings, and this assumption is not so groundless as it may seem when you look at the map. Tocharian - the people who lived in the northern part of Tibet much later time of appearance of burial, - spoke the language of the Indo-European group, and, according to one hypothesis, came from Eastern Europe.

At the beginning of a new era of some nations, such as the Huns came from the territory of modern Mongolia and China to Europe, so the possibility of cultural contact with the descendants of the ancestors of the Vikings mysterious inhabitants of Northern Tibet is nothing supernatural.

Until death do us part

Installed over the graves of the pillars height of about 3,5 m are, according to archaeologists, phallic symbols. For the tribe, which lived in isolation in the region with harsh climate, sexuality is closely linked to survival and three-meter phallus could well be a symbol of fertility.

Apron found in one of the graves

It is noteworthy that the tops of poles grind to give them a phallic only over the graves of women. Over the places where men were buried, standing pillars, the upper part of which hammers like oars that can also be interpreted in a sexual manner. In terms of Myers and several of his colleagues, the vaginal symbol - another sign of fertility and renewal of life. And the fact that some women's graves are marked by additional gifts may be due to the fact that the dead woman gave birth to and raised more children. Where people constantly threatened by population decline, such signs of attention is understandable, the researchers said.
