Researchers have unearthed more than 140 funerary objects at the tomb, including ceramic figurines depicting warriors and animals like camels.
Archaeologists have discovered the tomb of an ancient emperor in China that dates to around 1,500 years ago.
This ruler is known by his personal name, Yuwen Jue. He was born in 542 A.D. and died in 557 A.D. at the age of 15. When he came to power, Yuwen Jue took the throne as Emperor Xiaomin of Northern Zhou, but he used the alternative title of Tian Wang or"Heavenly Prince." Archaeologists have unearthed at least 146 funerary objects at the tomb. The objects are concentrated in the southeastern part of the tomb and primarily consist of pottery figurines, as well as ceramic vessels. The figurines depict warriors, cavalry units, and animals like transport camels. There is evidence to indicate that the tomb was once looted.
