In the 2,000-year-old tomb of Hai Hun Hou (Liu Xia), Chinese archaeologists found a large amount of gold, which was minted into giant coins resembling “golden biscuits.”

Last week, the excavation of the tomb of Changyi Wang Liuxia, grandson of Emperor Wu in Nanchang, located in the east of Jiangxi province (China), entered an important stage: the excavation of the main pavilion.

Here, archaeologists have discovered 96 more “golden cakes” at the 2,000-year-old ancient tomb, bringing the total number of “golden cakes” found here to 285 – the most among the Han tombs ever excavated.

In fact, these “golden cakes” are giant gold coins, about the size of a cookie. According to archaeologists, each “golden cake” weighs about 250 grams.

In addition, archaeologists also unearthed a set of lacquered screens with images of Confucius and texts, and a large number of objects made of gold.

Emperor Haihunhou (also known as Liu Xia, born in 92 BC) was originally the grandson of Emperor Wu. History books record that Liu Xia and his subordinates played corruptly and did not take care of the government. After 27 days in office, Luu Ha was dethroned by the great gods and was called the Aphou of Hai Hon. He died in 59 BC, aged 33 years. Luu Ha tomb area is about 40,000 square meters, including 8 tombs.

Excavation of the grave site began in 2011.
