An tomb dating back around 1,800 years has been discovered in southwest China's Chongqing Municipality, authorities said Tuesday.
The tomb, believed to have been built during the Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220AD), contains various burial artifacts such as pottery, statues and broken coins, according to Fuling District Museum.
It was found earlier this month during the construction of a kindergarten.
Initial investigation shows that the tomb was built for a wealthy person, but archaeologists have not confirmed the owners identity.
