“Thanks to remote sensing, we can start our excavation of theProtectorate of the Western Regions this year,” said Li Wenying Cheap Indiana Pacers Jersey ,deputy director of the Xinjiang Cultural Relics and ArchaeologyResearch Institute.
The city was established in 60 B.C.to supervise domestic andforeign affairs around Tarim Basin, protecting the Silk Road frommilitary assaults.
