More China videos, please!
It's no Sanxingdui, but in all ancient China, produced stunning bronzes, jades, and gold objects. Ivory and ARC welding techniques have been identified, dating as far back as 4500 BC. Around the same time, the Pyramids are said to have been constructed. I was hoping this would be the one with mercury detected... maybe next time.
US Senator : "Are you in any way associated with China?" Chu King from the Warring State Period : "No Senator. Qin has not yet unified China"
Great video. Thanks.

It says Tomb of China's Emperor finally discovered... That implies, the tomb of China's first Emperor was finally opened. It has not. Thus, the title that caught your attention and caused you to click to watch the video, was only bait...as the content of the video does not have anything to do with the First Emperor's tomb. We have been "clickbaited"

No, the Egyptians were a little before this. King Tutankhamun (a fairly late pharaoh) lived about 3,300 years ago. The pyramids are possibly 4,500 years old.
