Tarim mummies of Taklamakan; A vast desert of secrets

The Taklamakan Desert has been attracting world attention for a long time. It is also a secret Chinese weapons training and manufacturing center. The world was once again aware of what was going on in Taklamakan when news broke that an American warship model had been destroyed by a missile.

Taklamakan, rich in oil and gas resources, is one of China’s major economic sources. Investments here are worth billions of dollars. Mining was once active here, assuming there were huge treasures. It was through such explorations that the Tarim mummies were found hidden here. In Thaklamakan, the mummification was done by nature itself. Many of these mummies were well-preserved because of the desert climate. There are rumors that they may have come from Europe or from the mountains of Central Asia because of their appearance and costumes. However, the international media reports that the world is once again turning a blind eye to Taklaman with China’s missile test. It remains to be seen whether the secrets of the Tarim mummies or the secrets of Thaklam will be revealed.
