At Shaanxi's sprawling tumulus of Emperor Jingdi, the fourth Han (206 BC-AD 220) emperor, history did not stop when the emperor was entombed in 141 BC. History is once again being charted at the Hanyang Ling Museum, which was eulogized as an "outstanding achievement and a model for other relics protection projects" by Michael Petzet, chairperson of the International Council on Monuments and Sites.
