German Turfan expeditions

(

)

... that the finds of the four expeditions, packed and carted to Germany initially, were murals, other artifacts (pictured a fresco of Merchants) and about 40,000 pieces of texts?

Interesting article. The actual book on which it is based makes for equally good reading. I added the external link to selective Google books preview. I did not find the 40,000 pieces of texts quoted there in the sample, but everything else is confirmed. I'm giving the AGF go-ahead because of that.
