Mural tomb
(More images at link.)
Archaeologists in Datong City, in northern China, have discovered a tomb with colorful murals on the walls dating back around 1,000 years. The murals depict servants, cranes and a vast amount of clothing. The colors on the murals are vibrantly preserved despite the passage of a millennia of time. The entranceway was blocked by bricks but archaeologists could access the tomb through a hole in the roof, seen here.
