Lost Hittites, lol?

There are blonde or red-hair featured Uighurs even today.
The mummies are Caucasians with high cheeks; Turanids.
So they are close to the Turks.
Not Iranians or Afghans.
These people have very different skull shape; they are Iranids.
Mummies look nothing like Iranids.

Hittites were a I-E nation, with hook-noses.
Their genes live in modern Levantines, partly Armenians.

When they left Anatolia, some 3000 years ago, as a result of pandemies (most of them died), they resettled in Syria.
Not so far from Anatolia so.

The Mummies are brachycephalic with visible cheeks.
Definitely Turanids.

Yes these are not related to BMAC people, but none the less these phenotypes can be found among Pamiris in Badkhakshan.

Which were purely european in phenotype.

Not all Tarim mummy is Europid. For example these skulls have flat cheekbone, and presumably Pamirid character:



But yes, these peoples were not Turks, but Iranians.
