Members of the Asatru Folk Assembly - or anyone else, for that matter - living in or near southern California, Texas, or Pennsylvania, are about to get the chance of a lifetime.
The famous blond mummies from Urumchi, on the edge of Mongolia, will be making appearances in Southern California, Houston, and Philadelphia. These are the mummies proven by DNA analysis to be Europeans - the farthest-east expression of our ancestors in ancient times. They are tall, with the long skulls typical of Europe, and their textile weave is similar to that found among the Celts. China occupies the land where they were found; the Chinese call it the province of Xinjiang, while many of the locals think of it as the nation of East Turkestan.
The suspicion that these mysterious European people may have introduced the wheel and other important technologies into China is embarrassing to the Chinese regime, and awareness of the mummies has at times been suppressed by the government.
The exhibit, which closes in Santa Ana, California on July 25, moves to the Houston Museum of Natural Science Aug. 28 and stays until Jan. 2. From Feb. 5 to June 5, the exhibit will be at the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology in Philadelphia. You won't want to miss these if you live within driving distance!
