Mass Grave Of Han Warriors In Mongolia

Alexey KovalevThe Han warriors buried in this mass grave found in southern Mongolia all seem to have died in gruesomely violent ways.

More than 2,000 years ago, a terrible massacre took place on the edge of a fortress in present-day Mongolia. A group of men were butchered, then buried in a mass grave.

But until recently, archaeologists weren’t sure who controlled the fortress — or who was buried in this grisly pit. However, a new DNA analysis of the bones has finally shed light on this violent slaughter.

According to a new study, the men who were dismembered and buried in the mass grave were Han warriors who seemingly lost their lives during the Han-Xiongnu Wars in the second century B.C.E. This, in turn, lends credence to the theory that the fortress belonged to the Han, and could be the historic lost fortress known as Shouxiangcheng.
