Long Zhen, director of the Jinyang Ancient City Research Institute of the Taiyuan Cultural Relics Protection Research Institute, says, according to a translation from the state-run news outlet Xinhua, that the tomb has pairs of figures painted on both sides of the tomb door and that paintings of people continue throughout the tomb, including everything from women pushing stones to grind flour to men making pasta, women using oranges to fetch water, and men stepping on hammers to help pound rice. china shanxi archaeology tomb murals cn Xinhua News Agency - Getty Images Experts believe the tomb was owned by a man who died in 736 AD at age 63, during the middle of the Tang dynasty, which ran from 618 to 907 AD. He was buried in the tomb along with his wife. The eight scenes painted on the tomb are in the “figures under the tree” style, trendy at the time, which—not unlike the name suggests—shows daily activities occurring under artistically rendered trees. The scenes offer a fresh view on what daily life and responsibilities were during the Tang dynasty. The figures painted on the tomb all appeared to be of the Han ethnicity—except for one: a figure painted with blond hair and a beard. Victor Xiong, professor of history at Western Michigan University, who wasn’t involved in the discovery, told Live Science the “Westerner,” painted in the tomb leading camels, likely represented someone from Central Asia. “Based on his facial features and outfit style,” Xiong said, “we can identify him as a ‘Westerner,’ likely a Sogdian from Central Asia.” The Sogdian people lived in what is now modern-day Tajikistan and Uzbekistan and were active along Silk Road trading routes Sat, 10 May 2025 18:51:15 -0700 zerosugar from private IP Reply #10036478 you really love china! hope you are reincarnated as a chinese man in a next life if reincarnation is real.

Native tajiks and uzbeks are not blond. You keep going along the silk road. You get to Iran and turkey and those folks are also not typically blond.
