As the new speaker Paul Ryan continues the legacy of John Boehner, yet again the Republicans show us that they are actually really Democrats, who lie that they are Republicans based on this ridiculous new spending bill, which is universally supported by Democrats but disavowed by the whole base of the Republican Party. The candidacy of Donald Trump becomes more and more a no brainer for anyone who actually has common sense on what is needed to get the USA back on the right track.
<a href="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Trump.jpg" rel="attachment wp-att-89620"><img alt="Trump" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-89620" height="168" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Trump.jpg" width="299" /></a>
While Ted Cruz is a genuine conservative, however he lacks understanding and vision on the Middle East, which weakens his candidacy. Cruz is still stuck on the Cold War mentality but Trump understands the Middle East much better and has called out the correct positions over the past 20 years as well as his understanding on why Putin is important to bring him on as an ally, not an enemy. Trump also is willing to enact policies that today are politically incorrect but need to be implemented to keep American safe. We also believe Donald Trump is a reader of Shoebat.com as he has tweeted some of material and commented on issues that he could only have been gotten from our web site.
As we have written and analyzed at Shoebat.com we know from our knowledge and experience both from the Bible and geo political science that Russia is not our enemy. Russia has returned to its Christian roots and is one of the few countries that are taking on ISIS. Its animus to Turkey is biblically foretold, playing out its role as predicted. America not being mentioned directly in the Bible has a question mark on its role, but Walid believes America is mentioned indirectly in the Sciptures.
Ezekiel 28 6-8 
Because you have set your heart as the heart of a god, Behold, therefore, I will bring strangers against you, the most terrible of the nations; And they shall draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom, And defile your splendor. They shall throw you down into the Pit, and you shall die the death of the slain in the midst of the seas.
Daniel 11:39
Thus he (anti Christ system) shall act against the strongest fortresses with a foreign god, which he shall acknowledge, and advance its glory; and he shall cause them to rule over many, and divide the land for gain.
The above verses indicate a very strong probability that it is talking about the United States and what we have seen and will see over next few years will be the evidence is strong that Shoebat is right.
Our country is a sad mess at this moment. Our government is corrupt; our politicians are either dishonest or ineffective. Our current president is advancing the goals and agenda of the Muslim Caliphate. The United States has supplied hundreds of millions of dollars worth of weapons to “moderate terrorists” which have all ended up in the hands of ISIS, many of the “moderate terrorists” were trained by the CIA, and Obama has failed to destroy these weapons, nor has he stopped the money flow to ISIS.

It appears that the United States intelligence services are responsible for the forming of ISIS, the USA made exactly the same mistake when it armed the Mujahedeen in Afghanistan to attack the Soviet occupation, which ended up giving confidence and the ability for Osama Bin Laden to attack us on 911, as well as many other major terror attacks around the world. The total incompetence, stupidity or outright treachery of US foreign policy under Clinton, Bush and Obama has brought us a Middle East that is now on fire and getting even more out of control.
Our country has a national debt that puts us on track to self destruction, yet Speaker Paul Ryan who was the biggest advocate to bring some fiscal sanity to the Treasury just did the opposite to what he has advocated against. It is only a matter of a short time before our insanity will put a bite in everyone’s pocket book. 
Obama Care has strangled the American worker and American business. By forcing people to purchase inadequate or unwanted coverage with grossly expensive policies has impoverished many working people, yet with the enforced deductibles in real terms the same people are not insured properly because the high deductibles are unaffordable for the average working American if a member of the family gets seriously ill. American businesses have been again penalized which provides a disincentive to hiring more workers, which hampers job growth. Job creation of fewer than 250,000 people a month is actually negative job growth (based on population growth all economists agree that 250,000 per month job creation just breaks even), yet the mainstream media spins 200,000 job creation a month as a good number when that number seems to be the best we can do over the last few years. We have about 94 million people still out of work, most uncounted as they are no longer are eligible for unemployment benefit, but instead now collect special assistance or disability benefit as well as food stamps. 60% of our total federal budget goes to welfare payments, at the same time less people are working and paying taxes. We are heading for economic disaster unless we can stop both political parties from ruining us. They are now as bad as each other.
We need to get the country back to true capitalist system removing or at least lessening Congresses’ willingness to provide excessive welfare to individuals and corporations (tax credits, write offs or outright subsidies). We need to have a President who can stamp his authority to get back to the principles that made America great, which encourages entrepreneurs to risk capital while at the same time allowing American businesses to invest back in the USA by lowering or even removing corporate taxes. The removal of the corporate tax and tax forgiveness for the of return capital to America would alone create millions of new jobs over the next five years, as well as stop the reverse mergers which large American companies are doing to allow them to be domiciled in lower corporate tax countries, which in turn avoids paying any taxes in the USA. Having millions of new jobs created will reduce the welfare budget, as well as gives you more individual tax payers, which in itself will more than offset the loss of corporate tax income.
Cutting the National debt can also be achieved by closing many useless bureaucracies like the departments of Energy, EPA, Education, Health and Social Services as well as trimming down the necessary departments. All the departments that are closed, their work can and should be carried out by the individual states as was envisioned by the founding fathers.
Immigration to the USA needs to be halted until a wall is built on the Southern Border. Muslims should also be banned from entering the USA until the terror threat has been eliminated. I am sure Donald Trump can succeed in implementing policies that can get us back to greatness and being the winners we can and will be if our government will be shrunk.
The top priorities should be for Donald Trump:
Get on top of the Muslim Terrorist problem.
Balance the budget and start to pay down the National Debt.
Stop Immigration until we get a handle on the illegal immigration issues.
Replace Obama Care with a competitive free market system that will not bankrupt the country. 
Abide by the Constitution.
We need a man who cannot be bought or corrupted; Donald Trump certainly cannot be bought and is a Patriot. He is the only candidate that can get it done, just because we need someone that will carry out the office because he loves America and what it stands for, he does not need Washington DC to make him rich like the rest of the politicians we now have. He also has more understanding of the world than any other candidate in either party and especially on Russia and teh Middle East. Trump is the man for the Job. Donald, make America great again!

Calais Explodes Into War Zone As Muslim “Refugee” Hordes Overwhelm Police, Cross Channel Tunnel To England

This must have been what it looked like when the Goths and Vandals invaded the Roman Empire during its final days. The names, places, and languages are different, but you know what they say- “The more things change, the more they stay the same.”

The invading Muhammadan hordes.
The police and government could stop this if they wanted to. The fact is, they don’t. These camps have existed for a long time and have been harassing truckers to the point where <a href="http://shoebat.com/2015/12/07/european-truckers-use-pork-to-deter-muslim-highway-robbers/">truckers have been tying pork onto their vehicles to keep the Muslims off</a>. But with this “refugee crisis,” it looks like we may have reached a tipping point where Calais now is, more or less, a West Bank on European soil.
Via <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/london/2015/12/19/calais-security-overwhelmed-migrant-crisis-outnumbered-181/">BreitBart</a>:
Hauliers have again called for a security boost at Calais as the rise in migrant numbers means they now outnumber security forces by 18 to one. Just 1,300 officers working on shifts are deployed to the town, where nearly 7,000 migrants are trying to get on board UK-bound lorries day and night.
“Even if the entire security contingent was to be deployed at any one time, the ratio would still be hard pressed to cope at 5:1,” said executive Richard Burnett, chief executive of the Road Hauliers Association (RHA)
“The level of security currently in place barely scratches the surface of the problem. It’s therefore hardly surprising that recent days have seen incidents of violence and attacks on trucks far worse than have been seen in recent months. And with Christmas produce still travelling across the Channel, the next few days will inevitably see a concerted push by migrants to reach the UK.”
His warning comes just days after a thousand migrants stormed the approach to the Channel Tunnel, working in groups of 50-60 at a time to slow lorries by blocking the road and help each other aboard. Some of the migrants were armed with hammers, iron bars and rocks.
…
Drivers using the port are growing increasingly nervous in the face of constant rock-throwing by migrants, as they battle with the 300 officers on duty at any one time. Drivers, who are also the targets of rock-throwing, say the migrants are all armed with knives and weapons of some kind.
“This will not end any time soon, it’s like a war zone and needs the army in to help control it. I do not want to be using the Calais port when heading back into the UK,” an anonymous driver told the Guardian.
Here is what Calais looks like from the ground in “the jungle.” This is the future of Europe if Islam remains unchecked:

For the first time anywhere in the country, a Superior Court has ruled that a Catholic school must employ a man living in an openly same-sex relationship. The school, Fontbonne Academy, originally extended an offer to the man, Mr. Matthew Barrett, but rescinded it upon learning that he was a homosexual in an active relationship with another man. Calling Mr. Barrett to be a member of a “protected class,” the judge argued that the private school “discriminated” against Mr. Barrett, and said that “the court has a compelling interest in prohibiting discrimination.”
Like the court ruling which abolished the sodomy laws in Texas, this court case will have implications for years to come. This is not about rights or freedom, but about forcing people who have a religious, moral obligation to opposes same-sex behavior to given consent to it against their will. Via <a href="http://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/massachusetts-court-catholic-school-cant-refuse-to-hire-marr#.xke2wNEBKk">BuzzFeed News:</a>
WASHINGTON — A state court in Massachusetts has ruled that a Catholic preparatory school violated the state’s antidiscrimination law when it rescinded a job offer to a man because he was married to another man.
Matthew Barrett had accepted a job as Food Service Director at the Fontbonne Academy, a Catholic girls school. On his employment forms, he listed his husband as his emergency contact — a move that led the school to rescind the job offer.
On Wednesday, Superior Court Associate Justice Douglas Wilkins ruled that Fontbonne discriminated against Barrett based on sexual orientation and rejected the school’s arguments as to why it should be exempted from the state law or otherwise not subject to its employment discrimination ban.
Barrett’s lawyers from Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders praised the judge’s ruling as “the first of its kind in the country.”
Prediction: In five years, it’s going to be a “hate crime” to merely criticize same-sex behavior, and you will go to jail. <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/religion/7668448/Christian-preacher-arrested-for-saying-homosexuality-is-a-sin.html">It’s already happened in the UK</a> and like with everything “across the pond,” what happens in Europe is only a about a decade away from coming to America.

WHO OR WHAT THE HELL IS MOVING ON MARS?

<img alt="Phenomenon Mars Surface Moving" class="aligncenter" height="256" src="http://d38zt8ehae1tnt.cloudfront.net/images/news/700_36f83311c3582932defdae7a73e5730b.jpg?v=1450520473" width="493" />
Scientists see Mars as a now-dead planet, with no living organisms habiting its surface. However, recent images seen via Google Earth reveal how the dusty terrain suffered changes due to some unknown event or phenomenon.
What could be the reason of this? The images reveal a formation of rocks that have been moved in a straight line, leaving a plain trail behind them, and considering that we’re talking about Mars, where nothing is expected to move on the surface, the hypothesis of NASA officials lying about the actual situation there doesn’t seem too far off.
So what or who could have caused these trails? Could it be water or a dust devil? Or is there something more exotic to blame for this? Some analysts believe the phenomenon is the result of a “dust devil”, but several aspects don’t match to this theory. If it were indeed the work of a dust tornado, the trail left behind would have to be curved or in zig-zag, but the images show a perfectly straight line behind the rock formation.
So what are the other viable theories? Well, according to some, the bizarre Martian phenomenon could have been caused by a flow of water on the surface, but this just doesn’t add up since the particularities of the trail are too symmetric and don’t match the description of a water flow, not to mention other illogical aspects regarding this water hypothesis. One of the photos however, has a unique feature that might explain this phenomenon.
If you look carefully, a bright dot is visible on the right of the rock formation, and considering the distance from where the photos were taken, the object has to be quite big. It also leaves a distinctive trail that stretches over the rock formation (a thin, curved and black trail). So how can NASA explain this bright object on the surface? Is this some kind of alien device that’s causing all the movement? Could this prove that an alien machinery is present on the surface of the Red Planet or beneath it? It might be impossible to find the actual cause, but we can analyze all the theories involving this event and see which one fits better.
So far, what researchers have come up with doesn’t offer a clear perspective of what happened there. Besides the above explanations, some analysts believe that what’s moving on Mars strongly resembles to a mysterious phenomenon found here on Earth. For years, scientists and we here at Disclose.tv have been perplexed by an unexplained event happening in California’s Death Valley.
A bizarre group of boulders appear to be moving there across the arid terrain and no one seems to figure out why. If we look at this earthly phenomenon closely, we’ll see that it has the highest resemblance to the moving rock formations from Mars. However, both events remain a mystery even for the modern science, since everyone is speculating about the cause but fail to precisely identify it.
Could this be interpreted as strong evidence of alien activity on both planets? And why is NASA stating that everything is dead on the Martian surface if these images show exactly the contrary? Whatever may be the case, we have our eyes open and will report as many anomalies as possible, for more people need to see that there is something strange happening on Mars, and also here on Earth.
It’s likely that NASA knows way more about these things but apparently they don’t care to share with the rest of the world. That, or maybe the above photos were taken in the Death Valley on Earth, which would lead to a massive and terrible cover-up from the renowned space agency ( via ufoholic.com ).

U.S. Dollar Takes Strong Stand with Fed Rate Hike

<img alt="dollar_100" class="aligncenter" height="302" src="http://z3news.com/w/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/dollar_100-600x366.jpg" width="495" />
I believe today’s interest rate increase announced by the Federal Reserve Bank is the fulfillment of the first part of a dream I had on July 7 2014. If this interpretation is correct, the implications are enormous and coming soon.
I shared the details of that dream in my previous post, <a href="http://z3news.com/w/sudden-economic-collapse-coming/">Warning: Sudden Economic Collapse Coming in 2015</a>. Then on November 20 2015 I shared how the Lord gave me a dream showing me a one-month delay, <a href="http://z3news.com/w/one-month-delay/">Prophetic Dream Announces One Month Delay</a>.
Not only did the Fed increase rates today, but they also indicated more rate increases are planned for 2016. So they sent a very clear signal to investors, which translates into a very strong stand for the dollar.
Dream Summary:
Here is an excerpt from my original post describing the first part of the dream, which I believe was fulfilled today:
<blockquote>
Then I saw the table for the United States. There were about six or eight representatives seated on one side of the table, but I could not see any of the representatives seated across from them on the other side. Then all of the U.S. representatives that I could see stood up at the same time. This caused a great commotion throughout the whole hall as the representatives from other nations began shouting at the U.S. table and at each other. There was a lot of confusion and yelling throughout the hall. The other countries were demanding that the U.S. representatives sit back down but their demands were ignored and the U.S. delegates kept standing.
</blockquote>
The U.S. representatives standing up symbolized a stand taken by the United States, but I was not shown specifically what that was.  I saw the impact of it caused increased tensions throughout the world because representatives from other nations seated at their tables were yelling across the hall demanding the U.S. representatives sit back down, but they would not. The whole hall was filled with great commotion after the U.S. representatives took their stand.
Then I saw unseen figures seated across the table push the U.S. table over knocking those who were standing to the floor with the table pinning them down. Then I saw a certain ETF shooting up like a rocket. The stock symbol for this ETF is FAZ, which is an indexed based ETF designed to move in the opposite direction as the financial sector, three times as fast. So if FAZ shoots up like a rocket, that means the financial sector is crashing. So the dream revealed a coming crash in the stock market.
Dream Interpretation:
Based on another dream I received last year, which I shared in <a href="http://z3news.com/w/final-four-seasons-us-dollar/">Final Four Seasons of the U.S. Dollar</a>, I have interpreted the table getting knocked over to mean not only the collapse of the stock market, but also the sudden devaluation of the dollar. I have had some doubts about that interpretation, but a new dream received last week confirmed the table getting knocked over is all about the dollar getting devalued.
The same dream also answered another question I have had, which is revealing what was the stand taken by the U.S. representatives. I saw the price of USD/CHF going way up, which means either the dollar is about to soar or the franc is about to be devalued. I saw the price of USD/CHF moving up to 1.35 compared to where it was last week at .988, which would be an unprecedented new high for the dollar. I shared the details of this dream last week in my post, <a href="http://z3news.com/w/wild-volatility-coming-forex-market/">Wild Volatility Coming in Currency Markets</a>. I believe today’s interest rate hike will bring about the fulfillment of what I saw in this new dream, including the stronger dollar and the wild volatility. So I am now convinced the stand taken by those U.S. representatives was symbolic of the strong dollar, which will come about as a direct result of the Fed’s rate hike today. These men represent the dollar so when they stand up the dollar stands up strong against all the other currencies of the world. Later on, when they get knocked down and pinned to the floor, the dollar gets knocked down and pinned to the floor.
If that is true, then today’s interest rate hike is soon going to cause the following seven events:
<ol>
<li>The dollar is about to soar to new record highs.</li>
<li>Currency markets are about to see unprecedented volatility.</li>
<li>The strong dollar is about to cause tensions to increase throughout the world.</li>
<li>Shadow figures are soon going to cause a sudden devaluation of the dollar that will leave the dollar pinned to the floor, helpless, and unable to get up.</li>
<li>The sudden devaluation of the dollar will cause a sudden collapse of the stock market.</li>
<li>China is going to be very angry with the United States and even threaten to declare war.</li>
<li>FAZ is going to shoot up like a rocket.</li>
</ol>
Unless the Lord extends the time again, we could see all of the above events fulfilled by the end of January 2016.
Event Before the Event:
The Lord also showed me a sign to watch for to let us know we are very close to the sudden crash. The sign will be President Obama authorizing a proposal for $1.2 billion in military aid. I shared the details about this sign in my previous post, <a href="http://z3news.com/w/event-before-event/">The Event Before the Event</a>.
This event will mark a turning point in the markets as they will turn down at that time and continue moving down until the big drop. So this is something to watch for in the coming weeks.
After I see this event happening, my plans are to take a short position in the forex market for USD/CHF. I am also planning to buy call options for FXF, which is an ETF that tracks this currency pair. FXF moves in the opposite direction as USD/CHF.
Big Trouble Ahead:
Could the Fed’s rate hike really cause increased tensions throughout the world? The evidence for this goes beyond the prophetic dream because we can actually see it happening in the world. I will attempt to explain how and why this makes sense.
The global economy has been on life support ever since the 2008 collapse of the housing market. Central banks have done their best to mask this reality by injecting large amounts of money into every market including stocks, bonds, housing, currencies, and precious metals. They have sought to create the illusion of normalcy, but this is not a sustainable solution.
Our leaders failed to implement any of the changes needed to address the causes of the 2008 collapse because they no longer work for the American people. The majority of them work for the bankers, which explains why so many of our regulatory laws over the past two decades have been written by the bankers and for the bankers. Meanwhile the majority of the American people are no longer represented and are not even aware of what has been stolen from them, which is why we fully deserve what is coming.
The following lists some of the problems we can expect to see in the weeks ahead.
Increased Risks from Derivatives:
As long as interest rates hold steady, investors can easily predict future rate movements. However, when rates start moving it gets much harder to predict. Increased volatility creates a dangerous environment for financial institutions due to their heavy exposure to derivatives, which are financial products that have no real value, but derive all of their value from underlying assets.
In their never ending quest for more profits, financial institutions have succeeded in getting lawmakers to rewrite laws allowing them to take greater risks, literally gambling, with money they should never be allowed to risk because it is not their money. They are using our bank deposits to create more and more derivatives. As a result, the derivatives market has grown exponentially since the legal restraints were removed in 1999 with the repeal of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass%E2%80%93Steagall_Legislation">Banking Act of 1933</a> (also known as the Glass Steagall Act). It is estimated at $1.2 quadrillion, which is ten times bigger than the total world’s annual gross domestic product (GDP). (Source: <a href="http://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/052715/how-big-derivatives-market.asp" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Investopedia</a>)
Since derivatives prices are almost always tied directly or indirectly to interest rates, anyone owning them is exposed to greater risks as interest rates become more volatile. Even a small miscalculation in forecasting future interest rate movements could cost financial institutions more money than they can afford to lose. In this environment, we could see the failure of Too-Big-To-Fail institutions, especially those carrying large amounts of derivatives, such as Germany’s largest bank, Deutsche Bank.
Higher Borrowing Costs:
Higher interest rates are not a big problem if we are not in debt and don’t need to borrow any money. Unfortunately, that is not the case. Since the 2008 collapse of the housing market, sovereign debt levels have increased dramatically in almost every nation. Today’s interest rate hike raises the price of dollars, which raises the price of borrowing for anyone using dollars. With nearly 19 trillion in sovereign debt and record high levels of corporate debt, higher interest rates make the U.S. government’s enormous debt burden even bigger. We survived the 2008 crisis because the government bailed out the failing financial institutions, but who is big enough to bail the government out? The Fed’s move just put our entire financial system in great danger with higher borrowing costs.
Currency Wars Spinning Out of Control:
With governments buried in debt and out of control spending, central banks have helped fuel the insanity with money printing and interest rate cuts, both designed to devalue the currency, which allows governments to effectively reduce their debt by repaying creditors with money that is worth less than what they borrowed. It is nothing more than a giant shell game designed to buy just a little more time before the gig is up. The problem with this strategy is other nations are doing it too, so the net impact keeps getting zeroed out and now time is running out.
The reckless actions of central banks have ignited a global race to the bottom to see who can devalue their currency the most. After year’s of devaluations, today’s rate hike makes the dollar stand out like an oasis in the desert, which is sure to attract more investors, way too many investors. The increased demand for dollars will drive up the value of the dollar relative to other currencies beyond anything we have seen in the past.
As the world’s reserve currency, a stronger dollar impacts the whole world causing all sorts of other problems, which is why currency wars can quickly spin out of control and escalate into military wars.
For example, a strong dollar can cause price inflation in other countries. This happens because the dollar is the world’s reserve currency, which means governments around the world are required to use dollars when purchasing oil and other commodity imports. A stronger dollar will temporarily increase their purchasing power, until they are forced to replenish their supply of dollars. Then they will get fewer dollars in exchange for their currency, which in effect means they will be forced to pay more for any basic necessities they import from other nations. This puts added pressure on nations already loaded with debt forcing them closer to the point of defaulting on their debt. Higher prices are passed on to the people, making it harder for them to afford basic necessities, which effectively lowers their standard of living and leads to civil unrest, protests, and riots.
Declining U.S. Exports:
A stronger dollar also hurts U.S. businesses that export their products to other countries. Their sales will decline because prices for their products will be less competitive.
Downward Pressure on Stocks: 
Fluctuating interest rates and currency values cause uncertainty and volatility in markets. Investors don’t like either of those, which means they will be looking to protect their wealth by pulling out of risk assets like the stock market and moving into traditional safe havens, such as U.S. treasuries. Pulling funds out of the stock market puts more pressure on debt strapped corporations in need of liquidity. Moving funds into U.S. treasuries increases demand for dollars even further.
Conclusion:
All the evidence points to the same conclusion. The stand I saw in my dream began today with the Fed rate hike. We are now very close to seeing the rest of the dream fulfilled.
Some people have complained prophetic dreams and visions are too vague and incomplete, but there is a good reason why they are that way. God only reveals pieces of the picture because He wants us to rely on Him rather than ourselves or anyone else. He also wants us to come together as a body, each of us bringing something to share. By putting all of our pieces together we come up with a clearer picture than we could ever get by ourselves. Each of us only knows in part, sees in part, and prophesies in part (1 Corinthians 13:9). Only God sees the whole picture, so He is the one we should keep our eyes on.

Tomb of a nomadic tribal princess will help unravel China’s complicated ethnic history

<img alt="The inside of the princess’s large tomb, which contained 166 funerary items " class="" height="331" src="http://www.ancient-origins.net/sites/default/files/field/image/princess-large-tomb.jpg" width="498" />
Chinese archaeologists have excavated the sixth century tomb of a nomadic tribal princess of the ancient Tuyuhun Kingdom in northwest China’s Shaanxi Province. In the tomb they found two skeletons and 166 grave artifacts, including bronze ware, warrior and animal statues and inscriptions.
The political and ethnic scene was very complicated at the time, but nomadic tribes from the West settled in the eastern parts of Qinghai and established the Tuyuhun kingdom or dynasty. The princess’s tomb dates to around 557 to 581 AD. <a href="http://en.people.cn/n/2015/1217/c90000-8991815.html" target="_blank">Scholars say</a> the grave and its contents will help them learn about the history of ethnic groups of ancient China.
The archaeologists concluded that the tomb was of the Tuyuhun Huihua princess. News stories out of China do not further identify the princess but say her nomadic tribe was related to the Xianbei of the Qilian Mountains and the upper Yellow River valley. The stories also do not say who the second person in the grave may have been.
When the Xianbei kingdom disintegrated in the third century Khan Tuyuhun led his nomadic people to the pasture lands near Qinghai Lake. In 284 AD the Tuyuhun people subjugated about 100 loosely coordinated tribes of the area referred to as the Qiang people. This is considered the first year of the Tuyuhun Empire. Previously those tribes had not submitted to any outside authority.
The 60 sons of the first emperor, whose name was Murong Tuyuhun, expanded his empire by defeating the Xia and Western Qin kingdoms. The Xianbei then joined with the Tuyuhun. The Xianbei people were the most prominent citizens of the Tuyuhun Empire, and their population was about 3.3 million at the height of the realm’s power.

Tuyuhun/Xianbei forces made military forays west, reaching as far as Xinjiang and the eastern borders of Kashmir and Afghanistan. Eventually the empire encompassed most of Tibet, northern Sichuan, eastern Shaanxi and Qinghai, Gansu and Ningxia. It reached 1,500 kilometers (930 miles) from west to east and 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) from south to north.
The Tuyuhun for the first time known unified inner Asia and helped construct and manage the southern part of the Great Silk Road. They promoted trade and cultural exchanges between the west and east and dominated the northwest of China until the Tibetans destroyed their empire after about 350 years.
When the kingdom disintegrated, in 672, the Tuyuhun people split into two groups, one going east of the Qilian Mountains into central China and the rest subjugated by the Tibetan Empire.
The ethnic Xianbei people were then scattered over a large territory from northwest into central and eastern China. Most of them settled near Mount Yin near Ordos. In 946, a Shatuo Turk killed Xianbei leader Bai Chengfu. He was so rich legend says his horses had silver mangers. The Turk, Liu Zhiyuan, used the stolen wealth to establish the Later Han Dynasty, which lasted only three years—China’s shortest-reigning dynasty.
The Tuyuhun Empire is considered separately from China by historians. The Tuyuhun practiced agriculture and also had a system of writing, and, as the grave goods of the princess testify, they had metallurgy.
