MYSTERIOUS MUMMIES [10c]
Heilongjiang Province, China. June 1994. Red Flag logging camp. Tree farmer Meng Zhaoguo spots what he believes to be a helicopter crashing into the nearby Dragon Mountains. He sets out to investigate, and when he reaches the lip of the valley, he is struck on the head and knocked unconscious.
“He wakes up several days later in his bedroom at home, doesn’t know how he got there. But he also that day has a visitation by what he describes as a ten-foot-tall extraterrestrial female with six fingers. They’re floating in the air above his bed. Suddenly she vanishes. She walks through the wall in his room and he floats back into his bed.” – William Henry (Author / Investigative Mythologist), |
While this account is certainly fantastical, Beijing-based psychologists and police technicians subjected Zhaoguo to a rigorous examination, including hypnosis and a lie detector test, and concluded is story to be truthful. Zhaoguo is one of literally thousands who have come forward in China in recent years to say that they have had extraterrestrial encounters. But his abduction by this otherworldly giant is particularly significant because of an extraordinary archaeological discovery in China that dates back nearly 4,000 years.
The Taklamakan Desert, known as “the Sea of Death.” It is a vast, unforgiving land shrouded in myths and lost to time.
“The Taklamakan Desert is located in the northwest of China…and it’s 338, 000 square kilometers. So, it’s slightly bigger than the state of New Mexico. It is the second largest pure sand desert in the world, and it is incredibly difficult to penetrate. The climate conditions are extremely harsh. There is no life, no food, no water…nothing.” – Christoph Baumer, Ph.D. |
While the Taklamakan Desert is one of the least habitable places on Earth, astoundingly, over the last three decades, Chinese archaeologists working in the Tarim Basin region have excavated hundreds of tombs that date back to as early as 1800 BC.
“The climate in the Taklamakan Desert is hyper arid…so, extremely, extremely dry. It is a hyper continental climate with huge variation between the temperature at day and at night. And it has also a high salinity. And these two factors, the dryness of the climate, and the salinity of the soil, do preserve the mummies so well.” – Christoph Baumer, Ph.D. |
The well-preserved nature of the mummified bodies allowed archaeologists to conduct modern DNA analyses that determined the ancient travelers were not Chinese.
“The results of this DNA test are, of course, thrilling, and they say a lot about the history of these people, because the males must have come from, what one believes is maybe the homeland of the Indo-Europeans. In these tombs, interred, were mostly Caucasian-looking people. They were not Chinese. They were not Uighurs. They were not Turkic. And there were a lot of very specific characteristics you don’t find on any other place.” – Christoph Baumer, Ph.D. |
“Now, these mummies were very curious in that some of them have what the biologists call Europoid features. This means they have angular faces. They have recessed eyes. They have white skin. They have elongated bodies, and they have curly hair, that can be red, blonde, or dark brown. When they’ve actually tested the mitochondrial DNA of these mummies, they find Haplogroups M and K, which are actually genetic DNA markers suggesting Western European genetic lineage. However, there is a problem. There are anomalies in the DNA. There are things that do not add up to any known surviving relics of genetic information that we have from anywhere else. This suggests that these people may in fact be extraterrestrials.” – David Wilcock (Author/Filmmaker), |
Could the mysterious mummies discovered at the Tarim Basin really be of alien origin? And might it also be possible that the giant being Men Zhaoguo encountered in his home in 1994 is a member of the same alien race? Ancient Astronaut Theorists say yes and suggest further proof can be found by examining the evidence discovered at one of China’s most secret pyramids.
