A Rare Western Han Dynasty Tomb Found in Southwest China

A well-preserved tomb, dating back to the Western Han Dynasty (202 BC-25 AD), with a clear recorded year has been discovered in Wulong District of southwest China's Chongqing Municipality, the Chongqing Cultural Relics and Archaeology Research Institute said Tuesday.

This archaeological project is a rescue excavation and protection work carried out to forge cooperation with the Baima project, the last of a cascade of hydropower stations on the section of the Wujiang River in Chongqing.

With the approval of the National Cultural Heritage Administration, the Chongqing Cultural Relics and Archaeology Research Institute set up a work team of more than 20 people from different archaeology research institutes and universities to excavate the site in March this year.

According to Huang Wei, the leader of the archaeological project, a collection of tombs dating from the Han Dynasty (202 BC-220 AD) to the Six Dynasties period (222-589) were newly discovered as part of this project. Among them, the tomb dating back to the Western Han Dynasty was the most important, and more than 600 precious cultural relics such as lacquerware, wood ware, bamboo ware, pottery and bronze ware were unearthed from the tomb.

Due to the tomb being filled with water throughout the year, it remains undisturbed and unharmed, and the funerary objects in the tomb are well preserved.

"What is exciting about this discovery is not just the large number of unearthed artifacts but also the list of burial items containing a precise year record, which has been verified as 193 BC, providing clarity on the tomb's burial timeframe. An unearthed jade ware from the tomb shows the prominent position of the tomb owner," Huang said.

The list of burial items found in the tomb is complete and clearly records the name, quantity and size of the funerary objects.

The tomb discovered this time is the one containing the largest quantity of lacquered wood and bamboo wares ever found at one time in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River in China, said Bai Jiujiang, head of the Chongqing Cultural Relics and Archaeology Research Institute.

Based on publicly available information, it is also the earliest tomb of the Western Han Dynasty found in China, with a clear recorded year, according to Bai.

This is a major archaeological discovery regarding the Qin and Han Dynasties in the Wujiang River Basin, offering physical evidence and important basic research materials for future study of burial customs and the comparative analysis of famous artifacts from the early Western Han Dynasty, according to the archaeologists.

Lovestruck mini-con anon here.

Little Mini-con getting piss at anyone who badmouths Silverline don't matter if their human, cybertronian and bigger than them they will chew them out so fucking much to the point security gets called.

Goddamn that’s dedication LOL

If imma be honest I feel like that would probably push Silver away a bit 😭 Silver doesn’t care that much about what others think so to see a bit he hardly knows be so passionate, he feels like it would be a bit of an overreaction from them. Sort of like an “uhhh ok then...” lol

Do you think KT would have retconned the Nabateans as being tyrants who put humanity under a horrible dictatorship and painted Nemesis as an unironic hero who saved the human race, if they ever released the full details on their 10000 years of lore and gave more context to the War of Heroes?

Hahaha,

They would retcon their own interview?

Nemesis didn't erase Nabateans because he was uwuing liberating HuMaNiTy, Nemesis and his pals hunted Nabateans because they wanted shiny weapons. So, even if they were "tyrants", they weren't killed because of those "tyrannous" acts, but because of what they were seen as : things to be looted.

Granted, given what KT pulled off with Nopes, I wouldn't put it past them in an attempt to add more Earl Grey (tm), with maybe some disturbing notion that if some Nabateans were tyrants, there used to be some "good ones" out there who were still wiped out, like, "collateral damage :'(".

If that was released, I guess the game would have been even more harshly insulted than it already was/is - we know the JP reception to Nopes was cold, and the suggestion that Mittelfrank's opera troupe was used to "comfort soldiers" already garnered a lot of shit on several fandoms (a japanese game, portraying an imperial army using comfort women in a good light? Really?) - and if Elibe managed to get a nuanced message (some dragons wanted to fight, some didn't), in the Fodlan verse, given the omnipresence of Supreme Leader, I can't see this same message existing.

FWIW,

I had several headcanons about some Nabateans, who went on to "rule" over some human lands - post the first Agarthan War - who had a more direct approach, you could even have some who would have survived this war and resent humans for starting it or even, killing some of their siblings.

Maybe a Medeus-like Nabatean, who would still be pissed and feel betrayed and angry at humans to have turned their weapons against them, when Nabateans were the ones who gifted them said weapons.

Seiros the Warrior, during her journey in the WoH, might hear and learn about this, and wonder if Sothis had ever been right and if both humans and Nabateans can live in Fodlan, or if it what happened in Zanado was "fair" - but for once, Willy would be the most level headed one of their duo, and tell her to cut the crap, if people had grievances against Bob the Nabatean, it was not a reason to slaughter Bob's entire family and desecrate him by crafting a relic, Seiros herself is fighting against a human, but she doesn't hate humanity, right?

How would silverline react to a mini-con asking him out? Like this tiny thing climing up as tall of a ladder or whatever they can find and asking him out with this dumb lovestruck look on their face.

Omg ok wait cause why is this adorable. I could imagine him just turning his helmet to gaze down at them, raising an eyebrow slightly with a little half smile.

“Oh, uh, thanks. I really didn’t think I was anyone that special… that’s nice of you.” As he crouches down to level himself with the little minibot, looking them over a bit.

He figured it probably wouldn’t work out due to the sheer difference in size, and even then, he wasn’t actively looking to be in a relationship or anything like that… but he shrugs it off. He wasn’t sure what was so apparently appealing about him, but the gesture was nice.

He really wasn’t that interested, but maybe he could humor them with just one date.
