The Xiaohe ‘Little River’ Tomb complex, or Ördek’s Necropolis, is a bronze-age burial site located near Lop Nur, in Xinjiang, Western China. The oblong sand dune contains over 30 well-preserved mummies. The entire complex has over 330 tombs, about 160 of which have been looted. That is the largest number of human mummies found at a single site in the world. The earliest of the mummies date back to 4,000 years ago. No human settlement has been found near the tomb complex; the bodies were therefore likely to have been transported from elsewhere for burial at this site.
