445 ancient tombs, dating back 2000 year old discovered in China
In a remarkable archaeological revelation, local authorities in north China's Shanxi Province have unveiled a staggering total of 445 tombs, dating back to more than 2,000 years. This significant discovery offers a rare and invaluable glimpse into the funeral and cultural practices of the ancient era, as per the reports.
If reports are to go by, these ancient burial sites, originating from the Warring States Period (475-221 B.C.), were stumbled upon approximately 500 m north of Xue Zhuang Village in Linfen City. The excavation work, spearheaded by the Shanxi Provincial Institute of Archaeology, has been ongoing for more than a year.
According to Duan Shuanglong, a seasoned researcher at the institute, the unearthed tombs vary in size, ranging from small to medium. More than 700 artefacts have been meticulously unearthed, including bronze ware, iron utensils, pottery, jade, and bone articles. Duan stresses the importance of these findings, asserting that they offer invaluable insights into the cultural evolution from the Warring States Period to the subsequent Qin Dynasty (221-207 BC).
The uncovered tombs and their accompanying artefacts provide a rare opportunity to delve into the funerary customs and beliefs of ancient Chinese societies that thrived in the region over two millennia ago. Archaeologists are poised to meticulously study the layout, construction, and contents of these tombs, aiming to decipher the intricate rituals and social hierarchies that governed burial practices during that epoch.
