Chinese bodies discovered in Roman Britain

It was some merchants looking for more shekels and this will inevitably be misinterpreted and turned into propaganda by people who hate the west as Chinese playing a hugely significant role in Roman and therefore European history.

Fuck off back to where you came from, thanks.

Would we not have written records indicating East Asians lived with/among the Romans, even if in their outlying territories?

How do you exactly know it was a Chinese man?

It could well be a man of Turkic origin which once and for all proves that the Sultanate of Rum was the true successor of the Roman Empire.

literally what's so wrong with his statement

>>1733540

>Fascinating stuff, any /his/torians able to elucidate on the importance of this?

It implies that Ancient China and Ancient Rome had more contact than we currently realize. In college, I was told that there was a Chinese explorer who was sent to investigate Rome and he lived among them for a while before going home, and that this was the full extent of Roman contact with China.

I'm not the guy you asked, but he is obviously invoking matters of race, "European pride", and severe tunnel vision, all indicative of the disease known as "/pol/".

>>1733606
what are you talking about

the remains are clearly race related and he has every right to be cynical about it

>>1733619
"he"

>>1733606
I didn't say that it was part of some white genocide plot or anything like that. Sinophiles will probably just blow it out of proportions and some more fringe groups will just parade this around and claim something like the white man stealing the achievements of PoC. To me it just appears as a unimportant discovery.

Is this some /his/ meme Ive seen like the same fucking threads posted 3 times today on different topics.

Have you seen what the PRC has done about the Tarim Basin mummies that are white with red hair? The ancient Chinese documents stating such contact? The PRC govt has downplayed and tried to hide it because it disproves that modern Chinese borders were "always Han".

WE WAZH LOMANS AND CHING

>>1733704
No like 3 threads same text about fucking Jesus. 3 threads same text about Chinese in Britain. Etc

>>1733606
Yeah heaven forbid those Europeans feel pride in themselves or anything, everybody knows only brown people are allowed to have pride.

Some rich Roman dude probably just imported a few exotic oriental slave girls to fug.

This is hardly proof of extensive interactions between the empires.

Autismpost/10

>Archaeologist Rebecca Redfern (pictured right) and her colleagues say Londinium may have had a far more flourishing community of immigrants than previously believed. Among the skeletons were those from north Africa, including a young girl (pictured left)
way down near the bottom of the article
>Isotopes from her teeth suggested she had grown up in north Africa, suggesting she had been brought to London after growing up in Africa.
>However, DNA tests revealed the teenager had blue eyes and a maternal ancestry that could be traced to south-eastern Europe and west Eurasia, at the eastern fringes of the Roman Empire.

>White teenager spends time in North African province and dies in Londonium
>hurrr immigrants have been in Europe forever!

Disingenuous fucks.
Yeah totally no agenda here.

>>1733817
This is why I hate reading articles that have an obvious bias towards liberalism or conservatism. They make objective viewing more difficult than it has to be.

Yeah, just look at this PRC map showing that the Tarim basin has been part of China since the Qin.

>>1733540

this chinese people were most definitely slaves

a chink in rome is laughable

>>1733552
No it won't you retarded fuck

>>1733589
That no one would interpret it like that, for fuck's sake

>>1733619
He wasn't "cynical" about it, it's obvious that he's just a merchant, Not a roman emoeror or general, only a retard would assume that, I honestly think there's no reason to remark that, even in this site full of ignorant fucks Who constantly voice their opinions

>>1733635
Just like polhacks did with those to tocharian mummies, retards will be retards

>>1734246
Yeah it is

>>1733635
>To me it just appears as a unimportant discovery.
>Historians have been wracking their brains regarding how much contact did Pre-Breakup Rome and the Chinese had.
>Unimportant
& humanities was a mistake.

>>1733579
That's tricky because a lot of records pertaining to such haven't been found, the few that have refer to everybody from East of Persia by one name.

So when they do make reference it could be people from anywhere between central Asia all the way east or India.

We do know that the Han did make contact with the Romans though according to Han records.

>>1733579
Not necessarily, a lost got lost in time.

Ancient turkics didn't look mongoloid

Got a non Daily Mail link, please. I don't want to give them ad revenue.

>It is possible she had been a slave captured during one of the many wars between Rome and Carthage, say the archaeologists.
>Found in London
>Rome conquered nCarthage 100 years before they invaded Britain

>Evidence that she grew up in Africa was isotopes in her teeth
>North Africa has always been a major supplier of grain

By this logic many Romans grew up in North Africa correct?

Awful article baka desu senpaitachi

>>1734577

But they did yo

There was even a North African emperor

>>1734577
>By this logic many Romans grew up in North Africa correct?
Are you implying north africans didn't identify as romans and were not a huge part of roman society? Because if so you're a straight up retard.

>>1734409
Some definitely will. Your expectations are way too high.

Right. This is probably made-up, as Daily Mail literally makes up stories out of nothing when they're bored.

>>1734601
What? No.

If they decided she grew up in North Africa based on her diet then I imagine many people born and raised in Rome "grew up in North Africa" based on their diet of food imported from Africa.

>>1734620
Right, sorry I probably interpreted your comment in a dumb way
