The discovery of an old tomb in China has repercussions beyond the history books and academic debates of scholars — it also means tourists to an existing tomb in the same area have been unintentionally duped.
A tomb recently unearthed at a construction site in Yangzhou, China, is said to be the final resting place of Yang Guang (569-618), reported state-run newspaper China Daily.
One of the most notorious emperors in Chinese history, Yang Guang is blamed for the deaths of millions of people who died when he ordered the renovation of the Great Wall and attacks on Goguryeo (now Korea) in a failed takeover attempt.
He’s also believed to have murdered his father.
Archaeologists say inscriptions on a tablet found on the newly uncovered site show the tomb belonged to the emperor.
