Thanks for posting. I don't think a lot of people think of a cache in this respect. Caches come in a lot of shapes and forms. One mans trash is another mans cache....

    Interesting that the tomb was occupied by a light-haired, blue-eyed caucasian, there in ancient CHINA.  The marijuana trade was important in ancient times, seems things never do really change!  Roll Eyes Shocked Grin icon_thumleft

    Dear group;
    The story is quite obviously a hoax, my friends. The article states:
    The 789 grams of dried cannabis was buried alongside a light-haired, blue-eyed Caucasian man, likely a shaman of the Gushi culture, near Turpan in northwestern China.

    My question is, how in the heck are they able to ascertain that a 2,700 corpse had blue eyes??? Did they look in his wallet and find it's driver's license? Don't believe everything you read my friends.

    It would be quite difficult to get autosomal DNA out of a 2700 year old corpse...even a mummy.  Although stranger things have happened, I doubt they got anything but mtDNA out of the thing (which couldn't tell you eye color but may give hints to skin color), if the story is true.  That being said, if they did use mtDNA they wouldn't have given a skin and eye color in the report, they would have said what portion of the world he is descended from.  I agree, either this story is a hoax, supposed to be funny or the reporter really doesn't know what he/she is talking about.

    Never underestimate the stupidity of people.
