Archaeologists have so far unearthed more than 10,000 heritage pieces from the tombs since 2011, including chariots, bronze cooking utensils, wine vessels, lamps and ancient coins. More than 110 selected historical relics from the cemetery are on display to the public at Jiangxi Provincial Museum in Nanchang for a week starting from Monday.
Still, more excavation and research is ongoing and more important relics may be found in the following days. The archaeological team reveals that the owner of the tomb will be officially announced on December 25.
