Xiaohe Princess discovered in Xinjiang, China, 2003.
2003年中国新疆出土的小河公主。
(Note: she was not a real princess but she was named as princess by archaeologists because of her exceptional beauty )
（注：并不是说她是真正地公主，而是因为她出众的美貌而被考古学家称为公主。）
（这里想起一个段子，说好看有什么用，其它人死了被挖出来时命名都是干尸一号，干尸二号，但是漂亮的就被称为公主。）
She was more than 4000 years old. You can still see her eyelashes.
她已经是4000年前的人了，眼睫毛依然清晰可见。
