Lavish 2,200-year-old tomb of Chinese emperor unearthed
Archaeologists in eastern China have uncovered a remarkable 2,200-year-old tomb believed to potentially belong to an emperor of the Chu state, a significant figure during a pivotal period in Chinese history.
The Chu state was part of the seven Warring States, whose eventual unification marked the beginning of modern China.
The tomb was discovered at the Wuwangdun archaeological site, where previous excavations revealed a vast cemetery encompassing chariots, sacrifice pits, and another tomb presumed to belong to the cemetery’s owner.
The newly unearthed artifacts, including bronze vessels, musical instruments, and lacquerware, date back to around 220 BC.
Notably, a coffin inscribed with over 1,000 characters was also found, the Independent has reported.
