Archeologists have excavated two carriages pulled by six horses each from the tomb, a symbol of high rank to equal that of the emperor, which has confirmed former estimations that Qin Shi Huang’s grandmother was buried here.
Jade, gold and silver fragments, as well as elegantly engraved pottery buried with the owner of the grave, have additionally helped establish the facts.
This is the second largest tomb ever to be discovered in the country, experts said, adding that emperor Qin Shi Huang is likely to have built the tomb himself.
