spittle Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 I watched a little of BBC News 24 earlier today and saw a story about a group of western Chinese villagers with very European looks (one had blond hair!). There is a theory that they are descended from Romans who managed to escape the Parthians when M L Crassus mismanaged them into a slaughter. DNA tests are being taken to verify the theory but another theory, that they are descended from the Huns, is also being voiced. Years ago I watched a documentrary about the Tocharians, another group of European featured people living in Western China. Their language (also called Tocharian) is the most eastern example of the Indo-European group. Maybe the two groups are related? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcus Caelius Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 Somewhere on this board, there was a thread on this subject recently. I started it. I think it was combined with one or two older threads on the same subject. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
