Tried to find what info I could on these but there's only so much online. I probably need to buy Victor Mair's book and do some reading, but will post these for now and come back later. Some of the stuff I saw online says they were probably Celts, I can't confirm that, though it was my guess also. Zaghunluq contains the famous "Cherchen man", the woman with smaller braids, the infant, and the other female mummy in red clothing that is missing most of her hair. They appear to have been buried close together and were probably family. The woman with large braids appears to be from Niya.

| This mummy is from Niya. The drawing seems to be of this mummy, however the face paint detail is based on the mummy further down that has lost most of its hair and has an open mouth. Note the blue glass beads over the mummy's eyes. |
