Discovery of 5000 Historical Relics in North China Tombs
Xinhua, 9 April 2007-- Archaeologists have unearthed more than 5000 items dating back 2000 years from a complex of 385 tombs uncovered at a construction site in north China’s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.
The local cultural relics and archaeology authorities estimate that the tombs cover an area of 50,000 sq m and must have been constructed sometime from the Warring States period (475 to 221 B.C.) to the Yuan Dynasty (1271 to 1368).
They believe 285 of the tombs belong to the Warring States period, 43 belong to dynasties of the Qin (221 to 207 B.C.) and the Han (206 B.C. to 220), 13 belong to the Wei (220 to 265) and the Jin (265 to 420), and 23 belong to the Liao (916 to 1125) and the Yuan.
