Archaeologists have made significant find in Jiangxi Province in eastern China. An excavation near Nanchang, the provincial capital, uncovered that largest burial ever found in China. Dating back more than 2,000 years to the West Han Dynasty (206 B.C.--25 A.D.), archaeologists found the royal tombs of the Marquis of Haihun State.
Known as the Haihunhou cemetery, it is located less than a mile from Nanchang. It covers some 10 acres of land. Experts found a chariot burial site with walls that extend for almost 3,000 feet. In addition, eight distinct tombs were discovered.
Archeologists believe that the main tomb was the final resting place of Liu He, grandson of Emperor Wu, the greatest ruler of Han Dynasty, which was one of the most prosperous periods in China's history. Liu was given the title "Haihunhou" (Marquis of Haihun) after he was deposed as emperor after only 27 days, having been cast down by the royal clan because of "his lack of talent and morals," according to official sources. Haihun is the ancient name of a small kingdom in the north of Jiangxi.
Xu Changqing, director of Jiangxi provincial cultural relics research institute, said on November 5 that burials are the most complete and best preserved Han Dynasty tomb cluster ever discovered. There are also roads and drainage systems in the cemetery.
The team have found more than 10 metric tons of Wuzhu bronze coins, as well as more than 10,000 other gold, bronze and iron items.
This is the only tomb excavated to the south of Yangtze River that has been found with vehicles. "The chariot burial is an important part of the tomb," Xu said. His team found five well-preserved horse-drawn vehicles. Each one had four sacrificed horses, and more than 3,000 accessories embellished with gold and silver. "The discovery will be important for the study of hierarchical burial customs and articles used in burial," he said.
考古學家比來在江西省得到了一龐大發明，在江西省城都會南昌挖掘了中國最大的出土物。該出土物挖掘於海昏候墓，可追溯至2000多年前的西漢時代(公元前206年——公元25年)。
這個宅兆被稱作海昏候墓，處於離南昌不敷1英裏之處。它占地約10英畝。專家們發明，這是一個包括戰車的墳場，其墻壁延長近3000英尺。別的，八個分歧的泉台也同時被發明。
考古學家以為，主墓是劉賀末了的安眠之地。劉賀是漢王朝最巨大的統治者漢武帝的孫子，漢代是中國汗青上最繁華的時代。據史乘記錄，劉賀在他即位上位後僅27天，就由於"他缺少能力和品德"而被廢黜，以後被賜賚"海昏侯爵"之位。海昏是江西北部的一個小王國的古代名字。
江西省文物研討所長處徐長清，十一月五日表現，該古墓是漢朝墓葬群最完全、保留最無缺的墓群。墳場裏另有途徑和排水體系。
考古小組還發明了跨越10公噸的五株銅錢，同時另有1萬余件金、銅、鐵物件。
這個泉台是長江以南發掘到的獨一有車輛的宅兆。"戰車墳場是宅兆的主要構成部門，"徐長清說。他的團隊發明了五個保留無缺的馬車，各有四個陪葬的馬，和3000多個裝點著金和銀的配件。"這項發明對付研討安葬品級和用於安葬的物品都是異常主要的，"他說。
