Sampul
Sampul (Shanpulu; سامپۇل بازىرى; simplified Chinese: 山普鲁镇; traditional Chinese: 山普魯鎮, formerly 山普鲁乡 / 山普魯鄉) is a town in Lop County (Luopu), Hotan Prefecture, Xinjiang, China.
Local inhabitants at Sampul cemetery around 14 km (8.7 mi) where art such as the Sampul tapestry has been found, buried their dead from roughly 217 BCE to 283 CE. The analysis of mtDNA haplogroup distribution showed that the Sampula inhabitants had a large mixture of East Asian, Persian and European characteristics. According to Chengzhi et al. (2007), analysis of maternal mitochondrial DNA of the human remains has revealed genetic affinities at the maternal side to Ossetians and Iranians, an Eastern-Mediterranean paternal lineage.
The Sampul tapestry was discovered in Sampul in the mid-1980s.
On October 21, 2014, Sampul township (山普鲁乡) disestablished and Sampul town (山普鲁镇) was created.
In 2016–17, five villages were added to Sampul.
On the afternoon of April 7, 2017, the XUAR Judiciary Office's de-extremization (去极端化) propaganda team began three days of de-extremization lectures in the county including visits in Sampul.
On December 13, 2019, the body of a 5 year old Uyghur boy was found in snow in a stream in Sampul, and viral video of the discovery led to international attention.
As of 2018[update], Sampul included thirty-one villages (Mandarin Chinese Hanyu Pinyin-derived names, except where Uyghur is provided):
