【CNMO News】The Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is one of the largest, most peculiarly structured and most connotative imperial tombs in the world, and excavation is not allowed at present, but the funerary tomb near the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang has entered the excavation stage.
Cultural relics excavated from the funerary tomb of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin
On January 21, it was reported that the Qin Shi Huang Emperor Mausoleum Museum recently released the latest archaeological results in 2021. It is reported that archaeologists excavated and cleaned up the burial tomb on the west side of the Qinling Tomb, and unearthed gold and silver camels, gold dancing sleeve figurines, copper flat pots inlaid with glass and other cultural relics, and the cultural relics have been restored completely.
Interestingly, there are many "little cute" cultural relics unearthed this time, and they have their own "delicacy" compared to the grandeur of the Terracotta Warriors. For example, one of the cultural relics resembles a fawn, with a vigilant and vivid look. Compared with the fawn, the gold and silver camel looks cute. And the small copper figurines held things in both hands, with a serious look.

Judging from the situation of this excavation, the owner of the funerary tomb is noble, and various gold and silver funerary objects indicate that he lived a luxurious life of nobility before his death.
It is understood that since 2013, the Qinling Museum has carried out continuous excavations of this funerary tomb, and a large number of precious cultural relics have been excavated so far. In addition, the newly excavated cultural relics also include three chariot and horse burial pits, 15 groups of chimes and so on.
