In China, a remarkably well-preserved tomb dating back over 2,000 years has recently been uncovered. The Chinese Academy of Social Sciences announced on Wednesday that more than 600 relics were excavated in this discovery.

Located in Wulong District, Chongqing, the tomb has been definitively dated to the early Western Han Dynasty, representing a significant find as it is the first instance of unearthing such ancient relics in the area, as reported by the Chongqing Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology.

Archaeological efforts led by Huang Wei revealed several tombs spanning from the Han Dynasty to the Six Dynasties era, covering the period from 206 B.C. to 589 A.D.

Nevertheless, the most noteworthy discovery among them is the untouched tomb named “Guankou Western Han Dynasty Tomb No. 1,” according to Wei, CBS News reported.

The institute further stated that researchers have verified the tomb’s origins, tracing it back to the second year of Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty in 193 B.C., establishing a historical timeline for the finding.
