Xiaohe Princess discovered in Xinjiang, China, 2003.
2003年中國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：並不是說她是真正地公主，而是因為她出眾的美貌而被考古學家稱為公主。）
（這裡想起一個段子，說好看有什麼用，其它人死了被挖出來時命名都是乾屍一號，乾屍二號，但是漂亮的就被稱為公主。）
She was more than 4000 years old. You can still see her eyelashes.
她已經是4000年前的人了，眼睫毛依然清晰可見。
