The grave forest located in the Jinlian Mountains and covering an area of about 40,000 square meters, is confirmed as the largest scale grave forest in the bronze culture archeology history. Chinese archeologists had found more than 400 cultural relics including bronze wares, pottery, jade articles and ironwares since last October after the graves were found in 2006. The grave forest is considered as an important discovery with great values for researching the ancient culture in Yunnan province.(Xinhua photo) |
