The Chinese Tutankhamun Whose Tomb Was Untouched For 3000 Years

Her exploits in battle were so incredible that many historians had dismissed her as a mythical figure. However, after resting untouched for over 3,000 years, Fu Hao's tomb was unearthed in the 1920s. Its contents sent shockwaves through the archaeological community. In addition to 150,000 inscriptions detailing ancient events, it contained seemingly European human remains, and jade extracted 1,500 miles away. It had previously been thought that China was isolated until the Silk Road of 200BC. The Treasure Tomb of the Warrior Queen changed everything.
