ShanghaiDaily.Com is [http://www.shanghaidaily.com/art/2006/05/31/281219/The_sands_of_time.htm|reporting] on a pretty incredible archeological find in northern China, on the edge of the Taklimakan Desert. Turns out they found a huge city there that dates back 2200 years. A couple of really bizarre things about it are:
1) It's so old there is no reference to the city in any existing historical records.
2) Among the four people of the period found buried within the city walls all were Caucasian. What white folks were doing in China 2200 years ago is a puzzle.
Pretty fascinating, huh?
