China unveils largest, highest-level and most complex Chu state tomb from over 2,000 years ago

Ғылым және технология

China unveiled the largest, highest-level, and most structurally complex tomb from the ancient state of Chu on Tuesday. Dating back 2,200 years and located in Huainan, Anhui Province, the Wuwangdun tomb has yielded over 1,000 artifacts including bronze wares, daily utensils, and musical instruments. The tomb, looted multiple times in history, underwent a salvage excavation that started from 2020. Its grandeur and scale lead to speculation that the tomb's owner might have been King Kaolie of Chu during the late Warring States Period (475-221 BC), though the owner’s identity remains to be confirmed.
Spanning over 140 square kilometers, the Wuwangdun complex includes a main burial chamber (Tomb No.1), chariot and horse pits, accompanying graves, and sacrificial pits. Tomb No.1 features burial chambers arranged in a cross shape with eight side chambers around a central one, each covered with four layers of planks. Around 1,000 ink-drawn characters were found on the coffin lid planks, indicating the positions and functions of each side chamber.
The effort sheds light on construction techniques of large-scale tombs during the late Warring States Period.

The first is done by unscrupulous people for illegal profit, where the artefacts are sold and will never again see the light of day again and all the history that we may learn from them are lost. The latter is for exploring our own past so we learn how our ancestors managed their lives and understand the processes of history which lead to our present day.
