3,000 year old chinese tomb uncovered

A really rare find, maybe not as impressive as the Terracotta Army but still quite incredible. The well preserved remains of several horses and chariots from approximately 770BC in a previously uncovered tomb.



It was found when a new hospital was being built, but hopefully archaeologists can find a lot of information about those times.

More on the story here.

Animal lovers can breathe a small sigh of relief - archaeologists say the position of the horses, lying on their sides, show that the animals were slaughtered before burial, and not entombed alive.

A really small sigh of relief, I'd think.
