The Princess of Xiaohe
About this episode
The episode explores the life and burial of the Princess of Xiaohe, an ancient woman found in the Tarim Basin.
Nearly 4,000 years ago, a young woman was buried in the sands of the Tarim Basin in western China. When her coffin was opened just a few decades ago, her face was almost perfectly preserved. We know her as the Princess of Xiaohe, but what was her world really like? Become a member now at www.patreon.com/cw/PastLivesMedia.
