Cherchen Man
This is Cherchen Man. He stood about six feet tall, had light hair and fair skin, and he lived about 3,000 years ago in what is today the Xinjiang region of western China. He sports facial tattoos. And the world’s oldest surviving pair of pants. He’s among a group of mummies found in the Tarim Basin dating from between about 1900 B.C. and 200 A.D. http://www.meshrep.com/PicOfDay/mummies/mummies.htm http://library.thinkquest.org/J003409/china.htm |
