Tomb Discovery

A tomb dating back around 1,800 years has been discovered in southwest China’s Chongqing Municipality, authorities said on May 9.

The tomb, believed to have been built during the Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220), contains various burial artifacts such as pottery, statues and broken coins, according to Fuling District Museum.

It was found earlier this month during the construction of a kindergarten.

Initial investigation shows that the tomb was built for a wealthy person, but archaeologists have not confirmed the persons’ identity.
