The project is about a lost kingdom called Loulan, along the Silk Road, where one hundred years ago, they discovered a mummy with totally Caucasian features?!  It was a bucolic,  peaceful kingdom, and then suddenly disappeared.

Life today in Xinjiang is still somewhat nomadic –- horsemen living in yurts, camels, sheep abound.  I often like a nomad myself, so no wonder I felt quite at home.
