In the museums of Urumchi, in Western China a collection of ancient mummies lay at the centre of an enormous mystery. Some of Urumchi`s mummies date back as far as 4,000 years — contemporaries of those in Egypt, but even more beautifully preserved, especially their clothing.

Where did they come from and what were they doing in the foothills of the Himalayas?
