The Treasure Mound Tomb of The First Ming Emperor
Continuing on through even more gardens and pavilions in Zhongshan Mountain National Park, we finally saw the gigantic, rectangular Ming tower ahead of us with a tunnel cutting through the center. A series of steps followed that led to the newly constructed top of the Treasure Mound Tomb.
The first Ming Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang was completely involved in building his imperial tomb. The Chinese, like the ancient Egyptians, began planning their burials as soon as they were born.

Inside the Tomb of a Ming Emperor
I shot this clip inside a Ming emperor's tomb when I was travelling in Beijing, China. This was one of 13 tombs that were found by archeologists. Only two were open to the public.
Tomb of Emperor Jingdi | Han Jing Mausoleum, China
This tomb, also referred to as the Han Jing Mausoleum, Liu Qi Mausoleum and Yangling Mausoleum, is the burial place of the Han-dynasty emperor Jingdi (188–141 BC) and is quite possibly Xī’ān’s most underrated highlight. If you only have time for two sights outside Xī'ān, make it the Army of Terracotta Warriors and this impressive museum and tomb. Unlike the warriors, though, it's not inundated with visitors so you'll have elbow room to fully appreciate what you’re seeing.

Man Pleads Guilty to Historical Site Damage
An elderly man pleads guilty to damaging England's ancient site, Priddy Circles.
Owning a historic piece of land may sound great, but for one elderly man, it turned out to be disastrous. Roger Penny is a retired business man in his 70s.
As a pension investment, he decided to purchase a prehistoric site called, Priddy Circles in Somerset, England. The site dates back approximately 5,000 years and the land is described as an earthwork ring.
It was built around the same time as Stonehenge and it is a Scheduled Ancient Monument. The designation meant that Penny was required to obtain approval from English Heritage before beginning any renovations or major work.
Penny hired to contractors to tidy up the area without consulting officials. The end result wasn't so good: natural holes inside the ring were filled with rubble and heavy equipment had made ruts inside the circle.
The damage took place last year and Penny found himself in court.
The prosecutor stated - These circles have enormous potential to inform us about the Neolithic period, and in archaeological terms are internationally significant.
Penny was ordered to pay about $60,000 for restorations and thousands more in fines.

Emperor Yang's Tomb Verified
7 months ago a surprise find at a construction site in Yangzhou in east China was thought to be the tomb of Emperor Yang from the Sui Dynasty. Now after months of work, experts have verified that two tombs found in the area are that of Emperor Yang and his wife.

The museum features the Asian arts collection of Cernuschi, with important donations. It is in a beautiful mansion he had built adjacent to Parc Monceau. He willed the building and its collections to the City of Paris, and this museum opened in 1898, two years after his death.
It happened to be Chinese New Year the day I saw this. I particularly enjoyed the Chinese objects from the Tang, Liao and Song Dynasties. Some are shown in this clip, including tomb guardians which resemble strange people or beasts.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The Han dynasty (206 BCE – 220 CE) of ancient China, divided between the eras of Western Han (206 BCE – 9 CE, when the capital was at Chang'an), Xin dynasty of Wang Mang (r. AD 9–23), and Eastern Han (25–220 CE, when the capital was at Luoyang, and after 196 CE at Xuchang), witnessed some of the most significant advancements in premodern Chinese science and technology.
There were great innovations in metallurgy. In addition to Zhou-dynasty China's (c. 1050 – 256 BCE) previous inventions of the blast furnace and cupola furnace to make pig iron and cast iron, respectively, the Han period saw the development of steel and wrought iron by use of the finery forge and puddling process. With the drilling of deep boreholes into the earth, the Chinese used not only derricks to lift brine up to the surface to be boiled into salt, but also set up bamboo-crafted pipeline transport systems which brought natural gas as fuel to the furnaces. Smelting techniques were enhanced with inventions such as the waterwheel-powered bellows; the resulting widespread distribution of iron tools facilitated the growth of agriculture. For tilling the soil and planting straight rows of crops, the improved heavy-moldboard plough with three iron plowshares and sturdy multiple-tube iron seed drill were invented in the Han, which greatly enhanced production yields and thus sustained population growth. The method of supplying irrigation ditches with water was improved with the invention of the mechanical chain pump powered by the rotation of a waterwheel or draft animals, which could transport irrigation water up elevated terrains. The waterwheel was also used for operating trip hammers in pounding grain and in rotating the metal rings of the mechanical-driven astronomical armillary sphere representing the celestial sphere around the Earth.
The quality of life was improved with many Han inventions. The Han Chinese had hempen-bound bamboo scrolls to write on, yet by the 2nd century CE had invented the papermaking process which created a writing medium that was both cheap and easy to produce. The invention of the wheelbarrow aided in the hauling of heavy loads. The maritime junk ship and stern-mounted steering rudder enabled the Chinese to venture out of calmer waters of interior lakes and rivers and into the open sea. The invention of the g ...
