in China, In the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous region in the North-West of the country, archaeologists have discovered more than 700 paper documents and wooden tablets relating to the Tang dynasty (618-907).
About the opening with reference to the statement of the regional Institute of archaeology said the news Agency “Xinhua”. Relics were found during excavations in the district of Julia. In ancient times there stood a tall tower, which acted as a kind of beacon. It was used by soldiers to signal with smoke and fire.
Total, the archaeologists found more than 1100 different relics, including paper documents and wooden tablets with texts. Some of them have managed to decipher. For example, paper relics contain both personal correspondence and literary works.
Other texts are records about military facilities at all levels along the line, which included the now defunct watchtower.
Scientists have found that this archive belongs to the period of the Tang dynasty. Relics will help to better understand how in those days in ancient China were built fortifications. By the way, the region in the era of the Tang dynasty was the border.
Another interesting find was made in southern China. In Guangdong, archaeologists following months of excavation, they found more than 100 cultural relics and 65 tombs, whose age is about 4000 years. They date from the late Neolithic period and the period of the Zhou dynasty (1046-256 BCE). In the tombs were found ceramic and jade products.
