This is an ancient tomb discovered just last year in China, called the Wangzhong Ruins.
00:09
The burial chamber is an exceptionally large 182 square feet, and now experts say they
00:14
have dated the site as having been built some 5,000 years ago.
00:18
The area was likely occupied during the Dao Wenku culture, which existed in the area from
00:22
around 4000 BC to 2600 BC, with the archaeologists saying that this tomb specifically, given
00:27
its size and wealth of artifacts, likely belonged to royalty.
00:31
Since its discovery, archaeologists have unearthed some 350 artifacts.
00:35
Experts also say that this likely means the ruins around the tomb are the remains of the
00:39
ancient civilization's capital.
00:42
This is just one of many tombs discovered recently in central China's Henan province.
00:46
This year alone, some 45 Dao Wenku culture tombs have been unearthed.
00:50
As part of other excavations, archaeologists have uncovered around 1,000 burial artifacts,
00:55
providing new clues about the long-lost peoples.
00:57
The Dao Wenku culture was one of the first in Asia to begin farming and making pottery
01:02
and musical instruments.
