Large-scale ancient tomb from Three Kingdoms Period excavated in Henan
The excavation of a large-scale ancient tomb from the period of Three Kingdoms (AD 220-280) has come to an end in Xizhu village in Luoyang city, Central 皇冠体育app's Henan province, Nov 10, 2016.
The tomb is about 52 meters in length and 12 meters in depth. More than 400 objects of pottery, ironware, bronze ware, lacquer ware, and jade articles have been unearthed.
