Scientists found Kurdish grave in China
Chinese archaeologists found traces of ancestors of Europeans during excavation on a graveyard dating back nearly 2200 years. Shanghai University Anthropology Professor, who made DNA analysis on the bones removed from the graveyard, said that the results are compatible with Kurds and Persians.
Europeans are working on the graveyard which was built nearly 2200 years ago by the first dynasty of China. According to the report of China Information Center, the excavation is carried out in Qin Shi Huangdi in Shannxi region.
The features of Europeans were seen also at the search on nearly 121 human’s bones in another graveyard. The graveyard in question is reported to be only 500 meters away to the Terrakotta Museum which is famous for its warriors, horses and weapons.
Qin Shi Huangdi excavation area ruler Duan Quingbo says that the results represent a relationship between Asia and Middle Asia before nearly hundred years than the estimated period of time. This means 206 B.C. till 220 A.C.
Scientists are working on the bones of 50 different human beings that they dug at 2003 excavation works.15 DNA results of them were completed. Duan Quingbo expressed that most of the bones belong to males and between the ages of 15 and 55.
Shanghai University Modern Anthropology Branch Professor Tan Jingze said the followings about the excavations; “DNA results showed variant similarities with Persians in India and Pakistan, with Kurds in Turkmenistan and with Persians in Iran.”
Professor Tan stated that slaves from northern were made to work at the building of the mausoleum and that the slaves probably died there but there is no exact information about them.
Duan Quingbo stated that there are still 200 similar graves not yet excavated. The first dynasty of Qin-Dynastie, Qin Shi Huangdi, wanted China lands to be a an unity and passed into history as a pitiless Tirana.
The huge building in Lintong, which is 35 kilometers eastwards to the capital city Xi, is 70 meters high and 56 square kilometers. 700 thousand workers, slaves and soldiers in 38 years are thought to have worked at the building. History books, besides, write that thousands of people lost their lives while building.
