It seems to me that the world was a lot more mobile even in ancient times than we usually think. Speaking of which, I wonder how many have seen the publicity about accidental Celtic mummies in China. No joke. If anyone is interested, I can send links to a couple of articles and photographs. The mummies were accidental in that they occurred naturally because of the desert climate in which they died. They are believed to be Celtic because they have not only European features but also, in a few instances, long blond braids and clothing that appears to be a type of plaid. -----Original Message----- From: cotyroneireland-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:cotyroneireland-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of David Hall Sent: Friday, January 30, 2009 05:23 PM To: cotyroneireland@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [CoTyIre] Moving back and forth Well if you stop and think of today, how many millions of people are "on the move?"

I would enjoy reading information regarding these Celts, it will be interesting to determine how these finds correlate with the book, "The Celtic World".
