China, the lost treasures of the Han Dynasty

The Han Dynasty ruled in China from the 3rd century B.C. to the 3rd century A.D. with a series of emperors who lived in an extremely rich, sophisticated environment. Although many of their tombs have been looted, recent finds in burial grounds point to the flourishing of this Empire, enriched by the Silk Road trade routes. The sovereigns were buried inside magnificent mausoleums among jade, gold, silk, precious jewels and, occasionally, miniature terra cotta armies.
