Chinese
archaeologists have discovered a series of complex
tombs in eastern China and unearthed a haul of
bronze mirrors, porcelains and ancient money,
Associated
Press reports. The tombs near the port city
of Ningbo were uncovered by a forklift operator
working at a construction site.
"Figures
embodying fish, beasts, dragons, phoenixes and
money can be seen in the wall of the grave. They
are incredibly refined and clear-cut." said Ding
Youfu, who is leading the archaeological team.
Archaeologists
plan to excavate an area of 50,000 square feet
around the main tomb and expect to find at least
five other tombs, AP reports.
