The well-preserved 1.5-meter-long female corpse, whose clothes and cotton-padded boots remained intact and even hair was not lost, was the first disinterred among the three Ming dynasty coffins unearthed in Taizhou on Feb. 28, 2011. The body and fabric had not decayed because the coffins were sealed and airtight thanks to the grout made of glutinous rice and lime which muffled up the coffin. The corpse was also found soaked in a yellow liquid and experts believed the liquid, proven to be underground water that had seeped into the coffin, kept the moisture and temperature at a certain level to preserve the body. The tomb was identified as a burial during the Middle and Late Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) following the grave customs. (Xinhua/Gu Xiangzhong) (lfj)

CHINA-GANSU-ANCIENT ROMAN ARMY-MYSTERY(CN)
(110321) -- LANZHOU, March 21, 2011 (Xinhua) -- Photo taken on March 15, 2011 shows the skeleton, whose skull appears more different than the people of Han ethnic group, at a museum in Yongchang County, northwest China's Gansu Province.
There are some forty western-looking villagers living in Liqian Village of Yongchang, whom, concluded by some experts and historians, are the descendants of the Roman Army in ancient times. Though the villagers said they had never traveled outside the county, they worshipped bulls and their favorite game was similar to the ancient Romans' bull-fighting dance.
Some anthropologists are convinced the foreign-looking villagers with deep-set eyes, long and hooked noses are the descendants of the army men. In 53 B.C., ancient Roman army General Marcus Crassus was defeated and beheaded by the Parthians, a tribe occupying what is now Iran, putting an end to Rome's eastward expansion. But a 6,000-strong army led by Crassus's eldest son apparently escaped and were never found again. In addition, according to the record in Hanshu, or the History of the Han Dynasty, a Chinese border-defence army took part in a fight against the army in 36 B.C., whose tactics were quite similar to the legion of Roman soldiers. After the invaders were defeated by Han's army, they were settled in Yongchang under the authority of the Han government.
Chinese archeologists in the 1990s found the remains of an ancient fortification in Liqian of Yongchang, a key section of the Silk Road, a 7,000-km-long trade route that linked Asia and Europe more than 2,000 years ago, which was strikingly similar to Roman defence structures.
In despite of the discovery convince some anthropologists of descendants in existence, others are not so certain. In opponents' opinion, the county is on the Silk Road, so there were many chances for trans-national marriages and the 'foreign' origin of the villagers does not necessarily mean they are of ancient Roman origin.

Fortunately, some of them were retrieved. Now the number of tourists visiting the museum rebounded after the turmoil in Egypt. (Xinhua/Cai Yang ) (wjd)

#CHINA-ANHUI-ANCIENT TOMB-EXCAVATION (CN)
(110418) -- LU'AN, April 18, 2011 (Xinhua) -- An archeologist measures thickness of the coffin board at one of the two ancient tombs believed to date from the Warring States Period (475 B.C.- 221 B.C.) in Lu'an, east China's Anhui Province, April 18, 2011.
The coffins discovered in the two ancient tombs here started to be lifted out of earth Monday after the 18-day excavation. The tombs were found in early April and had been placed in the same direction, with one on the north end of the space and the other on the south end with a distance of ten meters between the tombs. Local archaeologists said that the tombs had never been pillaged. Because the coffins were made using high-quality wood, the contents of the tombs have been well-preserved.
