The Takla Makan mummies are apparently Celtic, people descended from a
group of Europeans travelling East, or, far more likely, a group of
Celts who simply never migrated West. The people of the area surrounding
the site where the mummies were discovered are technically Chinese, but
do tend to have distinctly Eurasian features, frequently red, brown or
even blonde hair, and they do make lover-ly plaids and houndstooth-check
woolen fabric.
Whether or not the local cuisine includes, say, Dublin Coddle, remains
to be seen.
