	Tarim Ravenmane
		Tarim was born the youngest child of Hakim Ravenmane; the Shaman Adept of the Tree Ghost Tribe of the Old Forest and Lyssa a mysterious woman from another tribe that Hakim had fallen in love with and married.

		The Silk road in the Tarim Basin between Kashgar (39°28′ N 76°03′ E) and Yumen (39°50′ N 97°34′ E) split in two routes, along the northern and the southern edges of the Taklamakan.
		The Chinese managed to take control of the Tarim Basin from the Xiongnu at the end of the 1st century CE under the leadership of general Ban Chao (32-102 CE).

	Tarim mummies - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Tarim mummies are a series of Caucasoid mummies which have been excavated in the Tarim Basin (Eastern Central Asia, today the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of the People's Republic of China), and dated to the 2nd and 1st millenium BC.
		In the same geographical area, reference to the Yuezhi was made in name in 645 BC by the Chinese economist Guan Zhong, raising the possibility that the europoid mummies may have been identical and ancestors to the Yuezhi.
		The presence of Caucasians in the Tarim Basin in the 1st millennium BC suggests that cultural exchanges happened between western populations and Chinese populations at a very early date.

		He provided all local mosques of Tarim one scheduled-table of prayers' phases that are calculated according the yearly sunrises and sunsets.
		It is true that Tarim can be ranked one of the most beautiful Yemeni towns in the Republic due to the existence of the palaces, and particularly for the fact that the local citizens built them from three local building materials: Al-Noora plaster-paint; remnants of wheat seeds and muddy sand.

		Tarim Basin boasts estimated resources of 10.7 billion tons of crude oil and 8.39 trillion cubic meters of natural gas, while its proven geological reserves stand at 440 million tons of oil and 664 billion cubic meters of natural gas.
		Exploration for oil and gas started in the Tarim Basin in 1952,but massive exploitation was launched in 1989, when the country put forward the strategy of "developing oil resources in the west and stabilizing oil production in the east".
		The Tarim Oilfield is also one of the major gas suppliers to the country's massive west-to-east gas transmission project, which expects to provide eastern China's areas with 6.5 billion cubic meters of gas this year through the west-to-east pipeline.

		In the end, their "working hypothesis" is that the earliest Bronze Age colonists of the Tarim Basin were people of Caucasoid physical type who entered probably from the north and west, and probably spoke languages that could be classified as Pre- or Proto-Tocharian, ancestral to the Indo-European Tocharian languages documented later in the Tarim Basin.
		At the eastern end of the Tarim Basin, people of Mongoloid physical type began to be buried in cemeteries such as Yanbulaq some centuries later, during the later second or early first millennium B.C. About the same time, Iranian-speaking people moved into the Tarim Basin from the steppes to the west.

	Desert intrudes upon Tarim lake
		A lake at the lower reaches of the Tarim River, China's longest inland river, has been forced to move 30 to 40 kilometers westward over the past 40 years by a sprawling desert on its northeast.
		A satellite picture taken in August 2002 showed the center of Taitema Lake, where the Tarim River empties, has shifted to the western side of a trunk highway in the region, said Yuan Guoying, a research fellow with the Environmental Protection Institute of northwestern Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.
		Yuan said he first proposed the hypothesis about the lake's moving westward in August 2003, when he accompanied a group of Chinese and German experts on a field survey on the ecosystem at the lower reaches of the Tarim River, which is sandwiched between the Taklimakan and Kuruktag deserts.
