The Ancient White Mummies of Asia (video)

Discover (Slavic World); Wiki; Pat Macpherson, Dhr. Seven, CC Liu (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

Mummies found in China are "white" or the more scientific sounding "Caucasoid."
Wearing Celtic pattern wool
The Tarim mummies are a series of preserved corpses discovered in the Tarim Basin in present-day Xinjiang, China, which date from 1800 BCE to the first centuries BCE.


The earliest Tarim mummies, found at Qäwrighul and dated to 1800 BCE, are of a Caucasian physical type, whose closest affiliation is to the Bronze Age populations of southern Siberia, Kazakhstan, Central Asia, and the Lower Volga (Mallory & Mair, 2000, p. 237).
The cemetery at Yanbulaq contained 29 mummies which date from 1100-500 BCE, 21 of which are Mongoloid -- the earliest Mongoloid mummies found in the Tarim Basin -- and eight of which are of the same Caucasian physical type found at Qäwrighul (ibid). Notable mummies are the:
  • tall, red-haired "Chärchän Man" or "Ur-David" (1000 BCE);
  • the "Hami Mummy" (circa 1400-800 BCE), a "red-headed beauty" found in Qizilchoqa; and
  • the "Witches of Subeshi"* (4th or 3rd century BCE), who wore 2-foot-long (0.61 m) black felt conical hats with a flat brim. Also found at Subeshi was a man with traces of a surgical operation on his abdomen; the incision is sewn up with sutures made of horsehair ("The Mummies of Xinjiang," Discover, April 1, 1994).
*Though modern Westerners tend to identify this type of hat as the headgear of a "witch," there is evidence that these pointed hats were widely worn by both women and men in some Central Asian tribes. For instance, the Persian King Darius recorded a victory over the "Sakas [the Buddha's family clan were Sakkas or Shakyians called Scythians by the Ancient Greeks] of the pointed hats." The Subeshi headgear is likely an ethnic badge or a symbol of position in the society. More
Genetic testing of the discoveries

(SW) After years of controversy and political intrigue, archaeologists using genetic testing have proven that Caucasians roamed China's Tarim Basin 1,000 years before East Asian people are thought to have arrived.

Asiatic-Caucasoids, tall people with red and blond hair and light eyes, had long been the subject of ancient Asian legends.

Then, in the early 20th century, archeologists digging in the Tarim Basin in western China, unearthed mummies resembling these legendary space "gods" (devas and/or deva-human hybrids).

Map of Eurasia, Central Asia, Tarim Basin, China, and routes of the Silk Road (

It is unfortunate that the issue has been so politicized because it has created a lot of difficulties. It would be better for us all to approach this from a dispassionate, scientific, and historical perspective.

The discoveries in the 1980s of the undisturbed 4,000-year-old "Beauty of Loulan" and the younger 3,000-year-old body of the "Cherchen Man" are legendary in world archaeological circles for the fine state of their preservation and for the wealth of knowledge they bring to modern research.

In historic and scientific circles the discoveries along the ancient Silk Road were on a par with finding Egyptian mummies.
  • [And they may have a common origin from the advanced space arrivals who took up residence in Egypt, with its oblong-headed gods and goddesses and hybrid giants called pharaohs.]
But China's concern over its rule in restive Xinjiang region has widely been perceived as impeding faster research into them and greater publicity of scientific findings. The Tarim Basin mummies have not only given scientists a glimpse of their physical biology, but also their European wool clothes, tools, and burial rituals.

Mair, who played a pivotal role in bringing these discoveries to Western scholars in the 1990s, has worked tirelessly to get Chinese approval to take samples out of China for definitive genetic testing.


"I spent six months in Sweden last year doing nothing but genetic research," Mair said from his home in the United States, where he teaches at the University of Pennsylvania.

"Modern DNA and ancient DNA show that Uighurs, Kazaks, Krygyzs, the peoples of Central Asia [where the Buddha was from, Kapilavastu in "Shakya Land" or Scythia] are all mixed Caucasian and East Asian. The modern and ancient DNA tell the same story," he said.

Map of Lop Nur [Lop Lake] by Folke Bergman, 1935. Kara-Koshun, where the terminal lake was found in 1867, is located to the south-west of Lop Nor, and the lake had shifted back to Lop Nor by the time this map was drawn. Taitema Lake was a smaller transit lake and located to the west of Kara-Koshun.
In the preface to the 2002 book, Ancient Corpses of Xinjiang: The Peoples of Ancient Xinjiang and Their Culture, written by Chinese archeologist Wang Huabing, the Chinese historian and Sanskrit specialist Ji Xianlin soundly denounced the use of the mummies by Uighur separatists as proof that Xinjiang should not belong to China.

"What has stirred up the most excitement in academic circles, both in the East and the West, is the fact that the ancient corpses of 'white (Caucasoid/Europid) people' have been excavated," Jin wrote.

"However, within China a small group of ethnic separatists have taken advantage of this opportunity to stir up trouble and are acting like buffoons, (styling) themselves the descendants of these ancient 'white people' with the aim of dividing the motherland."

The Ancient Corpses of Xinjian (Wang, et. al)
Further on, in an apparent swipe at the government's lack of eagerness to acknowledge the science and publicize it to the world, Ji wrote that "a scientist may not distort facts for political reasons, religious reasons, or any other reason."

Meanwhile, Yingpan Man, a nearly perfectly preserved 2,000-year-old Caucasoid mummy, was only recently allowed to leave China for the first time, and it is being displayed at the Tokyo Edo Museum.

Yingpan Man not only had a gold foil death mask -- a Greek [and possibly Scythian] tradition -- covering his blonde bearded face, but also wore elaborate golden embroidered red and maroon garments with seemingly Western European designs.

Top 10 Best Inspirational Quotes; Acharya Buddharakkhita (Dhp); Ashley Wells (ed.), Wisdom Quarterly
The Buddha said it best in the Kalama Sutra inviting us to freely inquire and investigate.
"I never paint dreams or nightmares. I paint my own reality." - artist, icon Frida Kahlo
"Mind is the forerunner" - the Buddha
1. Mind precedes all mental states. Mind is their chief; they are mind-made. If with an impure mind a person speaks or acts, unhappiness follows like the wheel that follows the foot of the draft ox
2. Mind precedes all mental states. Mind is their chief; they are mind-made. If with a pure mind a person speaks or acts, happiness follows like one's never-departing shadow. - The Dhammapada

LYRICS: Grantchester Meadows (Pink Floyd, Ummagumma)
LanaDelReyVEVO"Icy wind of night be gone this is not your domain"
In the sky a bird was heard to cry.
Misty morning whisperings and gentle stirring sounds
Belied the deathly silence that lay all around.

Hear the lark and harken to the barking of the dog fox
Gone to ground.
See the splashing of the kingfisher flashing to the water.
And a river of green is sliding unseen beneath the trees
Laughing as it passes through the endless summer
Making for the sea.

In the lazy water meadow I lay me down.
All around me golden sun flakes settle on the ground.
Basking in the sunshine of a bygone afternoon
Bringing sounds of yesterday into this city room.

Hear the lark harken to the barking of the dark fox
Gone to ground.
See the splashing of the kingfisher flashing to the water.
And a river of green is sliding unseen beneath the trees.

In the lazy water meadow I lay me down.
All around me golden sun flakes covering the ground.
Basking in the sunshine of a bygone afternoon
Bringing sounds of yesterday into this city room.

Hear the lark harken to the barking of the dark fox
Gone to ground.
See the splashing of the kingfisher flashing to the water.
And a river of green is sliding unseen beneath the trees,

The Buddha's PONY: too beautiful to live

Look no further for the secret to that sleeping-baby glow. These babies may have revealed the answer. Snuggle up with man’s best friend. A favorite dog, cat, or piglet will do. Parents, just remember to follow the updated pediatrician recommendations for safe sleep for babies 1-year-old and younger. And don’t let infants and animals snooze together when you’re not there to supervise. More

The Buddha's white pony 
G. P. Malalasekera (Dictionary of Pali Names) edited by Dhr. Seven, Wisdom Quarterly

The Scythian prince loved his horse.
The Scythian prince had a white pony.

The baby Prince Siddhartha -- before he renounced at 29-years-old, traveled East to meditate, and awakened thus becoming "the Buddha" at age 35 -- had a a white pony named Kanthaka. This horse was very devoted. It broke his heart when Prince Siddhartha left.

The horse on which Gautama left his father's palace, accompanied by his attendant Channa, was the horse Kanthaka.

Stone carving of white pony Kanthaka.
It is said that when he was saddled for the journey, he realized the importance of the hour and neighed loudly for joy, but the devas ("shining ones") muffled the sound of his neighing and his footsteps as he galloped through the streets.

Ordinarily the sound of his neighing and galloping could be heard throughout the seasonal royal palace in Kapilavatthu [modern Bamiyan, Afghanistan, according to Dr. Ranajit Pal].

He was 18 cubits long [cubit=length between elbow and fingertips] from neck to tail and proportionately broad and white in color like a clean conch-shell.
In this journey of renunciation, leaving when all were asleep, Channa held on to Kanthaka's tail. The horse had the strength, had it been necessary, to clear the ramparts of the city, 18 hands high, at a single bound, with the prince and Channa on his back.

Just outside Kapilavatthu the prince stopped the horse to take one last look at the capital  city. A burial mound (cetiya) was later erected on this spot and called Kanthakanivatta cetiya.

Prince Siddhartha renounces worldly life by casting off his finery, jewellery, and long hair.
The horse traveled 30 leagues between midnight and the following morning, as far as the river Anomā. It is said that Kanthaka could travel around the whole realm [wold-system, cakka-vāla, so perhaps it was an advanced craft or a supernaturally powerful horse] in one night.

With one leap the horse cleared the river, which was eight fathoms wide [fathom=6 feet]. On arriving on the opposite bank, the Bodhisattva, the Buddha-to-be, gave orders that Kanthaka should be taken back to Kapilavatthu.

But Kanthaka kept looking back at the beloved prince, And when the Bodhisattva disappeared from view, the horse died of a broken heart. And he was immediately reborn in (heavenly) Realm of the Thirty-Three, Tāvatimsa, under the name of Kanthaka-devaputta (lit. "Kanthaka, son of god," one reborn as offspring of the devas). (J.i.62-5; Mtu.ii.159f., 165, 189, 190; VibhA.34, etc.; Buddhacarita, v.3, 68; vi.53ff).

Prince Siddhartha, who became the Buddha, grew up with a white pony named Kanthaka.
The Buddha, a Scythian, lived on the Silk Route
The pony Kanthaka had been born on the same day as the Bodhisattva (J.i.54; BuA.106, 234, etc.) as had the bodhi tree and his cousin/future wife Bimba, aka Yasodhara, which would mean he was 29 when he passed away to be reborn.

In the Heaven of the Thirty-Three he had a magnificent palace of sapphire (veluriya) gems, which the male chief disciple Maha Moggallāna, foremost in psychic powers (counterpart of Ven. Uppalavanna, the chief female disciple, foremost in psychic powers), visited on one of his tours in Tāvatimsa. (Vv.73f;-VVA.311-18; see also DhA.i.70; iii.195).

"You'll Never Beat the Irish"! (joke)

Our Irish friend, Don, says Americans don't understand "The Troubles" today. The only people who speak well of the IRA or revolutionaries are "Hicks" and bumpkins.

Everyone else is over it. You want to start an argument in Northern Ireland? Say something good about U2's Bono. What a ____! The great American Che Guevara (America is not the USA but a much bigger continent) was part Irish and a great rebel. Of course, in the US even today we have a chip on our collective shoulder about British oppression, colonialism, and exploitation, and we say that as confused Anglophiles at Wisdom Quarterly angry about the horrendous legacies of India and Afghanistan. We suffered under England/UK (some say we still do through the transnational banking system controlled from London), the colonized world suffered under it, but who has and continues to suffer under it more than the Irish? Here's a joke to underscore that sentiment.

(xXxShellieBabyxXx) "Go On Home, British Soldiers"

Irishman at ease (
An Irish bloke entered a pub where three British soldiers were getting hammered. One Brit said to the other two, "Watch this. I'm going to take the stuffing out of this Mick."

He went up to the Irishman and said, "You know, St. Peter was a mother-______ _______."

"Oh, is that so?" the Irishman responded.

The Brit was gobsmacked and walked back to his friends who had heard him. The second Brit said, "Nah, ya did it all wrong. Here, watch this. You want to provoke a bog-trotter?" He went up to the Irishman and said, "You know, St. Peter was god-_____  ______________ ______ and a ________."

How can England think to control part of Ireland?
"Oh, was he?" the Irishman calmly responded and smiled.

The second Brit couldn't believe it and turned, tail between his legs, back to his mates.

The third Brit said, "Worthless wankers! Watch this. I'll get his goat." He went up to the Irishman and said, "You know, St. Peter was in fact British, hah!"

"I know," said the Irishman. "Your two friends have just been telling me how British he was."

Strange origins of "Irish" identity (video)

(Robert Sepehr/818encino) An old Irish legend about an ancient Egyptian Princess Scota; see Dr. Sigmund Freud's 1939 book Moses and Monotheism, or visit the "Vale of the Little Flower" (Glen Scotia). Ireland's long history is riddled with folklore, ancient mythology, and ancient societies, such as the Druids. Scota, in Irish legend, is the name given to the daughter of an Egyptian pharaoh. Sepehr is an author, producer, and anthropologist specializing in linguistics, archeology, paleobiology. Robert Sepehr: Species with Amnesia: Our Forgotten History

Knowledge, Wisdom, Spirit of Ancient Ireland with Gerard Banks
Equality CorkGerard Banks share knowledge and speaks openly about the ancient wisdom, spirit, and culture of the Irish (like iris, the eye, consciousness), the natural language and ancient spiritual connection to earth and the rest of the world.

This refers not only to Ancient Egypt but also ancient connections to the Moari language and New Zealand's Maori people.

Banks covers topics from spirituality to law and takes a look at the past in the hopes of understanding the present. Why was the Roman alphabet introduced to the Emerald Isle? To alter and suppress the natural harmonics and frequency of the Native Irish language?

We need to progress from here in harmony with this ancient heritage and the heritage of all other ancient global societies today.

The Battle of the Boyne
Ireland: Land of the Pharaohs (Andrew Power)
Banks also speaks about what the "Battle of the Boyne" (Catholics vs Protestants, 1690) was spiritually really about: It was a ritual. It was the founding of sectarian violence in Ireland, used to divide the spiritual DNA of Ireland.
Sectarian = section-terrain, keep a people and nation divided for a reason. Why did King James of the House Stewart and his nephew King William of House Orange/Nassau organize this "family affair," this pretend-battle in the Boyne Valley?

Why did this family with representatives from all over the world have to come to Ireland to symbolize their transition and rule from the Reign of House Stewart to House Hanover? Indeed, why did they need to come to Ireland and the Boyne Valley to do this?

This affects the teaching and education of false laws in Ireland today. Universities are being run commercially based on untrue laws that only benefit the commercial exploiters of Ireland. False commercial empires continue to ruin the world for corporate profit, which goes against the very spirit, DNA, and heritage of the ancient Irish. More

Ancient legends describe in a remote past the origin of the Celtic race, which was established in the north of Spain, with a King Breoghan, who founded Betanzos, Brihuega, and Brigantia, and built the Tower of Hercules in Galicia.

The OBregon: "From Bregon"
Wisdom Quarterly Wikipedia edit
Statue of Celtic King Breogán and the Tower of Hercules in A Coruña, Spain (wiki)
King Breogán (Bregon, Breoghan, or Breachdan) is a character in the Lebor Gabála Érenn, a medieval Christian history of Ireland and the Irish (or Gaels). He is described as an ancestor of the Gaels.
  • [Could there be a relation or connection to the legend of Brian Boru (Bóruma) and the O’Briens (see Ó Briain Dynasty)?]
The Lebor Gabála purports to be an account of how the Gaels descend from Adam through the sons of Noah and how they came to Ireland.

It tells us that they spent 440 years wandering the Earth and underwent a series of trials and tribulations, which is based on the tale of the Israelites in the Old Testament. Eventually, they sail to Iberia and conquer it.

There Breogán, one of their leaders, founds a city called Brigantia and builds a great tower. From the top of the tower, his son Íth can see Ireland. The Gaels, including some of Breogán's sons, sail to Ireland from Brigantia and take it from the Tuatha Dé Danann, the Irish gods.

Brigantia likely refers to A Coruña in present-day Galicia (Encyclopaedia Britannica) and Breogán's tower is likely based on the Tower of Hercules (which was built at A Coruña by the Romans) or the Tower of Babel.

The idea that the Irish Gaels came from Hispania may be based on the similarity of the names Iberia and Hibernia and the names Galicia and Gael (Patricia Monaghan, The Encyclopedia of Celtic Mythology and Folklore, Infobase Publishing, 2004. p.332). Medieval historians made similar claims about other nations based on their names... More
