CHINA-GANSU-ANCIENT ROMAN ARMY-MYSTERY(CN)
(110321) -- LANZHOU, March 21, 2011 (Xinhua) -- Photo taken on March 15, 2011 shows the relic of an ancient town named Liqian, in Liqian Village of Yongchang County, northwest China's Gansu Province.
There are some forty western-looking villagers living in Liqian Village of Yongchang, whom, concluded by some experts and historians, are the descendants of the Roman Army in ancient times. Though the villagers said they had never traveled outside the county, they worshipped bulls and their favorite game was similar to the ancient Romans' bull-fighting dance.
Some anthropologists are convinced the foreign-looking villagers with deep-set eyes, long and hooked noses are the descendants of the army men. In 53 B.C., ancient Roman army General Marcus Crassus was defeated and beheaded by the Parthians, a tribe occupying what is now Iran, putting an end to Rome's eastward expansion. But a 6,000-strong army led by Crassus's eldest son apparently escaped and were never found again. In addition, according to the record in Hanshu, or the History of the Han Dynasty, a Chinese border-defence army took part in a fight against the army in 36 B.C., whose tactics were quite similar to the legion of Roman soldiers. After the invaders were defeated by Han's army, they were settled in Yongchang under the authority of the Han government.
Chinese archeologists in the 1990s found the remains of an ancient fortification in Liqian of Yongchang, a key section of the Silk Road, a 7,000-km-long trade route that linked Asia and Europe more than 2,000 years ago, which was strikingly similar to Roman defence structures.
In despite of the discovery convince some anthropologists of descendants in existence, others are not so certain. In opponents' opinion, the county is on the Silk Road, so there were many chances for trans-national marriages and the 'foreign' origin of the villagers does not necessarily mean they are of ancient Roman origin.

(110315) -- TAIZHOU, March 15, 2011 (Xinhua) -- A female corpse of Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) is seen soaked in yellowish underground water in a coffin in Taizhou City, east China's Jiangsu Province, March 1, 2011. The well-preserved 1.5-meter-long female corpse, whose clothes and cotton-padded boots remained intact and even hair was not lost, was the first disinterred among the three Ming dynasty coffins unearthed in Taizhou on Feb. 28, 2011. The body and fabric had not decayed because the coffins were sealed and airtight thanks to the grout made of glutinous rice and lime which muffled up the coffin. The corpse was also found soaked in a yellow liquid and experts believed the liquid, proven to be underground water that had seeped into the coffin, kept the moisture and temperature at a certain level to preserve the body. The tomb was identified as a burial during the Middle and Late Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) following the grave customs. (Xinhua/Gu Xiangzhong) (lfj)

(110315) -- TAIZHOU, March 15, 2011 (Xinhua) -- Workers try to open the lid of a coffin coated with thick grout in Taizhou City, east China's Jiangsu Province, March 1, 2011. The well-preserved 1.5-meter-long female corpse, whose clothes and cotton-padded boots remained intact and even hair was not lost, was the first disinterred among the three Ming dynasty coffins unearthed in Taizhou on Feb. 28, 2011. The body and fabric had not decayed because the coffins were sealed and airtight thanks to the grout made of glutinous rice and lime which muffled up the coffin. The corpse was also found soaked in a yellow liquid and experts believed the liquid, proven to be underground water that had seeped into the coffin, kept the moisture and temperature at a certain level to preserve the body. The tomb was identified as a burial during the Middle and Late Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) following the grave customs. (Xinhua/Gu Xiangzhong) (lfj)
