Handwriting, symbols found at emperor's tomb

Handwriting and symbols were recently discovered at the tomb of Emperor Liu He from the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 24), as archaeologists began dismantling the outer coffin, according to Nanchang Evening News.

Liu He (92-59 BC), who was later given the title Haihunhou (the Marquis of Haihun), was the grandson of Emperor Wu, the greatest ruler of the Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 220), a prosperous period in Chinese history.

Archaeologists began to dismantle the main coffin chamber of Liu He's tomb in September, with the third level of the tomb currently under extraction. Crosstie and charcoal is still to be extracted, which might reveal remains of sacrifices or other relics.
