This dessicated beauty could have been someone you loved.
Her mummy is four thousand years old and the detail stuns. Her Eurasian people lived in eastern China's desert in the Tarim basin on forgotten trade routes. They were a genetically tight group that has almost disappeared from the human genome. Several cemeteries are known and the bodies are buried in boats!
