Archaeologists unearth nearly 150 tombs spanning several centuries under Chinese zoo
Archaeologists have unearthed nearly 150 tombs dating to a range of historical eras at a zoo in China’s southeastern Guangdong province.
The tombs, first discovered between April and July 2024, are from a range of dates spanning more than 2,100 years, according to China’s Xinhua News Agency.
Four of the tombs are from the Han Dynasty dating to between 206 BC and 220 AD, eight were from the Jin and Southern Dynasties of 265-589 AD, and 15 burials were from the Tang Dynasty of 618-907 AD.
More than 120 tombs were from the Ming and Qing Dynasties that ruled China between 1368 AD and 1911 AD.
Researchers also uncovered 48 gravestones from the more recent Republic of China (1912-49) era, which formed the early years of today’s China.
