The tombs were unearthed during the 6 of a road earlier this year in Kuqa county,740 km from Xinjiang's capital Urumqi and part of the 7 Qiuci State. Qiuci State，which 8 between the second century BC and 860 AD，was one of the 36 states in the Western Regions.

I want you to know that at times we all wish that we could be left _11 . The fact that you can be alone with yourself and enjoy it shows clearly who you are. Imagine for a 12 being locked in a room with someone you 13 . It would be torture. So, if you find peace with being with yourself, that is good.
