Episode description

Join us as we discuss the fascinating story of the Tarim Basin mummies with Miriam Robbins Dexter.  The Tarim Basin mummies are naturally mummified human remains that were discovered in China's Tarim Basin dating from around 2,000 BC to AD 200.  Their origins have attracted international attention over their “Western” physical appearance.  Where did these people come from and how do they relate to the migrations of both the matriarchal civilizations and Indo-European invaders that we've discussed on other podcasts?

Miriam Robbins Dexter, Ph.D., holds a B.A. in Classics and a Ph.D. in Indo-European Studies (comparative linguistics, archaeology and mythology), from the University of California, Los Angeles.  Her friend and colleague, Vicki Noble, a regular member of the Make Matriarchy Great Again team, joins the discussion

Dawn "Sam" Alden and Sean Marlon Newcombe co-host.
