Inside the Enormous 2,000-Year-Old Mongolian Tomb: Untold Treasures and Mysteries Revealed
Because there are few written records of the Xiongnu, this tomb already represents a significant source of information about this little-understood society.
National Museum of KoreaThe tomb reaches 50 feet below ground and spans 240 feet across, suggesting that a Xiongnu elite of considerable wealth and power was buried here.
Despite what this tomb might reveal about the broader history of the Xiongnu, the story of the individual at its center remains shrouded in mystery. Indeed, the identity of the person interred here is still unknown, though we can at least surmise that it was someone of high status, given the tomb’s size, the wealth of grave goods, and the lacquer-coated carriage that was discovered right above the central chamber.
Now, archaeologists will perform DNA analysis on teeth and hair remains recovered from the tomb to hopefully shed more light on who was laid to rest here and how the Xiongnu in general fared as their time was coming to an end.
