    The 5,000-year-old ancient tomb was discovered in central China.

    A royal ancient tomb dating back about 5,000 years has been discovered at the Wangzhuang site in Henan Province, central China. About 350 artifacts have been excavated at the site.

    The newly discovered ancient tomb is located in the Wangzhuang site in Vinh Thanh city. The ancient tomb has a total area of over 17 square meters. This is considered a super-large size for a tomb that was built 5,000 years ago, when this ancient tomb was built, Xinhua News Agency noted.

    Chinese archaeologists believe that the owner of this ancient tomb was the king of a prehistoric kingdom.

    China's Wangzhuang archaeological site belongs to the middle and post-Khau pressure culture (4,000 - 2,600 BC). Dai Van Khau culture is considered a brilliant culture in the late neolithic period.

    According to CGTN, the ancient Chinese tombs discovered at the Wangzhuang site have a large number of interred antiques, including networks covering the site with pearls.
