Unravelling a mystery in an ancient grave site

"It's amazing that the metal accessories are still shiny after 2,000 years," said Yang Xiaolin, a researcher with the National Museum of China. The cart was among the items buried at the Majiayuan Graves in Muhe Township. Since the excavation began in 2006, archaeologists have discovered 60 tombs and sacrificial pits with 44 carts there, making the site one of the ten most important excavation projects of that year.
