Cao Cao's Tomb: Ancient Secrets Of The Three Kingdoms

Cao Cao (155–220 AD) was a warlord and the Eastern Han dynasty's penultimate Chancellor who rose to great power in the dynasty's final years. Cao Cao, according to legend, made a careful plan before his death: in order to prevent looters from disturbing his peace after death, he had 72 coffins made, which were carried out to 72 separate burial sites on the day of his funeral.
In the historical archives, the Tomb of Cao Cao was in Xigaoxue Village in Anyang, about 12 kilometers away from the capital of the Kingdom of Wei, Yecheng City. The excavation of two graves was conducted from 2008 to 2009. After excavation, the archaeologists confirmed that the owner of the tomb was Cao Cao.

It was one of the most important archaeological discoveries that year.

The archaeologists found that the tomb was robbed before the excavation, but still more than 250 pieces of cultural heritages were unearthed.
