Subject: body found in Osh
From: TIMUR KOCAOGLU (tkocaoglu@ku.edu.tr)

Dear Alexis Martin,
If the claimed "body (mummy)" is really 2000 and 3000 BC old, then it
can NOT be related to Islam at all! Islam was born in Arabia in the
7th century AD and came to Central Asia in mid 8th century.

By the way, I would like to introduce myself briefly: I am Timur
Kocaoglu (in Uzbekistan they know me as "Temur Khoja"), Professor of
Turkic Languages and Central Asian Studies at Koc University in
Istanbul. My research and publications fall into the fields of the
cultural history, compartive linguistics, language policy, modern
literature, Jadid (Reformist) intellectuals of the 1910s & 1920s of
Central Asia.

With kind regards,
Timur
