[quote=LIONPOWER,241502]The tomb, 16 meters long, 11.5 meters wide and three meters deep, was found last December. Last week the excavation was completed. It contained the largest group of coffins ever discovered in a single tomb. Cultural experts and the Chinese media have dubbed this excavation "the most important archeological project of the year". By Monday, experts had unearthed more than 200 heritage pieces from the tomb. Finds include copperware, jade, gold and handicrafts made from bamboo: a well-preserved fan 37 cm long and 25 cm wide and a bamboo mat 180 cm long and 80 cm wide.[/quote]
