  • Archaeological discovery of mummies in the Taklamakan desert of Western China dating back 4,000 years has captivated the imaginations of researchers, who were surprised to discover that they were caucasians from Europe. The answers to the mystery of who these white mummies were might be found in the later history of Xinjiang province; in the Chinese written records of blue eyed and red bearded merchants such as the Yuezhi and the Sogdians from the West and in the manuscripts written in a mysterious Indo-European language known as Tocharian. Clearly there were both Iranic and Tocharian peoples living in Western China in later times, and the Tarim mummies must have been the ancestors of some if not all of them.
    The inhospitable Tarim basin became a vital route for merchants, at the crossroads between East and West, the basin is skirted by oasis towns which were stations for anyone traveling on the Silk Road.The caucasian, Europoid mummies and the ancient Indo-European languages of the region challenge popular misconceptions about the limits of European civilisation in the Bronze Age. The material excavated suggests the area was active for thousands of years, with diverse languages, lifestyles, religions, and cultures present.

    Update Aug 2021: New genetic data leaked from forthcoming paper on Tarim mummies disproves my claim from my video last year that early Tarim mummies were Iranic. It also shows the likely origin of Tocharian in Asia is in the Dzungarian Basin just north of Tarim. The older samples in the new study are from Dzungarian Basin and these samples do appear to be Afanasievo derived and therefore could be the source of Tocharian languages, and if so then the language only moved south into Tarim basin quite late, much later than I thought, but the early Tarim mummies do not appear to be Tocharians or even, as I speculated in my video las year, Iranic speaking Aryans, rather an isolated refugia of ice-age like people predominantly descended from Ancient North Eurasians and West Siberian Hunter-Gatherers. WSHG themselves were 72.5% ANE, 7.5% West European Hunter-Gatherer, and 20% Ancient East Asian.
    We can't say what language these Siberian mammoth hunter-like people of Tarim spoke (not an Indo-European one though), although we know Tocharian and Iranic both entered the Tarim basin region later on. Interesting that the mummies appear to be European in phenotype despite not descending from Indo-European bronze age steppe peoples who are autosomally like modern Europeans.
    Later Tarim mummies like Cherchen man actually probably do have some steppe admixture and could well be Iranic speakers. Tocharian and Iranic speakers of steppe descent entered the Tarim basin from different routes at different times, but the original inhabitants were these ANE descended Siberian people and they mixed with the incoming Indo-Europeans.

    Geologically speaking, the Tarim Basin underwent a massive desertification throughout the millennia. Most recent example is the Lop lake which has now pretty much dried up and a fraction of the size it used to be as little as 100 years ago.

Of the three main routes from China proper to Central Asia, access to water was the single most important consideration.
      It's believed that during the ice age, the Tarim Basin was a gigantic inland sea like the Caspian or the Aral Sea. I don't kow where the homeland was for the people who migrated to the Tarim Basin thousand of years ago. Using boats for burials could be coming from an ancestral custom before they reached the Tarim Basin.

    I first remember learning of the Tocharians (or 'Mummie people') around 20 odd years ago in 1999 or 1998 when a programme aired on Channel 4. It was narrated by Sean Barrett. It showed a team of archeologists lead by American sinologist Victor Maire of Penn State University on expedition in Xinjiang Province investigating and gathering more info on these caucasian mummies. Totally aw struck by it. Also remember reading of a 'decoded' indo-European language discovered in western China in the 1930s in David Crystal's book 'Language' which actually got me interested in languages as a whole. Great video Jive. Keep up the good work.

      Chinese history is a process of integrating all kinds of people including Caucasian people. In Tang Dynasty, lots of foreign generals and officials including Turkic, Iranian, Uyghur, Sogdian, etc. Uyghur has privileges in Tang Capital Chang’an. A lot of Sogdians were merchants and nine clans of them changed to Chinese last names. So if you see those last names, their ancestors could be Sogdian. Tang territories extended to Central Asia and our greatest poet in Tang Dynasty was born by the Baikul River. His first name is Bai, means white. Then he gave himself a middle name, Taibai, means too white. I suspect he is Russian or mixed with Russian and he drank a lot.
      In Yuan Dynasty, lots of Arabic and Jewish in the nowadays east coastal region being officials and merchants. and Quanzhou was the world’s largest port and is full of Christian churches, Jewish churches, and Muslim mosques. Actually, our greatest navigator Zheng He was an Arab. His dad and grandfather were officials in Today’s Yunnan province in Southerst China. His original last name was Ma, the Chinese version of Muhammad. Lots of Hui Muslim in China last name is Ma. They are still the biggest Muslim ethnicity in China. Later, lots of Manchurians changed last names to Chinese last names.
      Actually, all my uncles and my dad have curly hair and tall noses. Some of my uncles are Caucasian looking. My dad is the darkest in skin color. My ancestors must have been mixed with other ethnicities. But I don’t look like Caucasian.
      There is hardly any pure Han Chinese. Hakka people might be the purest Han Chinese, as they moved away from Yellow River regions and kept going South to avoid multiple invasions by Northern nomads. They probably get to breed among themselves mostly.

It was just interesting to me since as soon as I looked at those patterns first thing that came to my mind was "Wow this looks so Slavic" after I watched the video I got to the comments just for fun to see how people reacted to it. So it happened that I stumbled upon this comment which only got me curios since I became unsure if its Slavic or Viking(even though I'm aware that Vikings and Slavs are kinda mixed). So out of my curiosity I opened two tabs and in one I typed "Slavic patterns" and "Viking patterns" in another and I myself was surprised that this pattern had pretty much nothing to do with the results I got for Viking search and Slavic ones gave results immediately so I just commented on that. This detail just caught my attention and besides I heard about this story before.

    Speaking of genocide, you must not forgot Mongols. They pretty much destroyed all major cities in Central Asia. so, no matter many Tocharians remained in Medieval period, they were almost all killed after Mongols. And also other IE people such as Greeks (lots of them in Alexendria, or Merv, capital of that east persian province) were genocided. In fact, Khorasan had lots of Greeks even BEFORE Macedonian conquest, because many Greeks were previously deported there by Persians in order to settle this frontier region. Roman captives were also sent to Merv by the Persians.

    I started studying everything I could find about these Tarim Basin mummies in the 90s, and still follow what I can find about them. It was not all desert then, but woodland around the edges where the rivers were and the area of the cemetery with small boats was in a wooded area. I have notes somewhere (I will find them) about the place-names and how those resembled words from Old Danish. There was a word for a river there that was the same name for a river in Denmark or Sweden (can't remember) and a word for hat, that was also used to mean roof that was similar. They came there with carts and horses. Over the years a lot of the original old research was "lost" by the Chinese government. and some of the textiles and mummies are also gone now. There was one buried with stacks of felt hats in various colors. There was a baby with a vivid blue felt hat. There were plaid garments. It's difficult to even find pictures of those now.

The direction society has taken is unsustainable and doomed to fail. I have hope for the future. White men and women will wake up, we already are. We must do what we can to change our nations for the better.
      I'm going to have a (white) daughter in August. Her father and I will be doing what we can to raise her white-positive, pro-west, racially conscious, and morally upright. (Hoping for the best on that one.) Sometimes, it seems like all I can do, but it's better than nothing. If more whites would do this, we'd be on the right track. Maybe there's something we can do in our local governments, if possible. The west didn't fall into degeneracy over night, and it won't come out of it over night either.

      @Eric W. Racial consciousness would unite us and give us a greater reason to preserve our culture and history. If white people don't think and act as part of a racial group, we'll be doomed. Everybody else on the planet thinks in these terms, that's why they aren't divided and subverted to the extent white people have been. I don't think it's a coincidence that our moral compass has been thrown off at the same time our racial identity and homelands have been lost. Racial consciousness, identity, culture, nation, and morality are all connected.
      Wouldn't European paganism be closer related to us than Buddhism? I mean, Buddhism and the Buddha came about wayyyyy after Indo-Europeans became distinct groups, no? The Buddha wasn't white or living in Europe. And isn't our view of marriage and sex more in line with Christianity than Buddhism?

    I read about this in Archeology Magazine back in about 1996? The mummies were tall, caucasoid and blond or red haired. As I recall most were found in the Takla Makan desert in western China not to far from TIen Shan, mountains in the Himalayas. I got the impression they found tartan plaid-like wool clothes buried with the mummies.

    China does not recognize that these mummies are completely rumours. They have been exhibited in some big cities in China and appeared in Western documentaries in the last century. The Tocharians are closely related to the ancient Chinese rule in the Western Regions, the two sides have a lot of political, economic and cultural exchanges.

      Black people went to India.. They went to Australia... They even went to Europe before everyone else.. In that time no one lived in Europe because it was too cold there and unstable.. And lol the name Europe comes from An African Queen who saved the rest of what was left of whites after the Black vs white africans war killed 95% of whites.. That queen that ordered to stop the massacre and made the rest of the white prisoners.. She was known to be humble, so she saved the rest of these whites by casting them out of Africa to the Mountains of Caucasia as punishment and last chance for them to make it better.. Where whites spreaded themselves and stopped indentifying themselves as Africans and called themselves white Caucasians, they later spreaded themselves in West-, East- Europe and Eurasia.. And gave the name "Europa" to their continent in tribute of that black African Queen who saved them from a Total extinction..
      That Greek mythology version of Queen Europa is pure bullshit invented by whites to erase the true story.. Out of shame that Black people in fact are their true closest brothers and that the queen was black.. Africa has another name for Africans or other races..

They had an empire in that part of asia for a brief few centuries while they kept the Xiongnyu on their eastern borders contained. Then after a while, the Xiongnyu were being pressured from their east...so they pushed westward and mixed with and/or replaced the tocharians. The leftover mixed group became the Huns which roamed around for a while until their later and well known push into Europe in classical periods.

    Great video, there are still Caucasians in China, some with blond hair and blue eyes, few people are skeptical when i talk about it, with migrations over thousands of years everything is possible. About 30 years ago i read a book: "Dans la peau d'un Chinois", wrote by a French man who entered China in the early 80's, he was a languages graduate and spoke Chinese. His fake papers identified him as one one of the white minorities, he visited many parts of China, worked and married a Chinese woman. If i remember well, he spent about 10 years in China before returning to France with his wife. Asians migrated to America during prehistoric times, Polynesians migrated to islands in the pacific, Madagascar was first inhabited by people from South East Asia, they are known as Merinas, their language is similar to Indonesian. It's really fascinating how far ancient people traveled without modern transportation, they kept moving to survive and settle where it's suitable to live.
