💬It is still very shocking. Seeing so many people and so many cattle and sheep buried together, I feel very complicated. This royal tomb witnessed the glory and vicissitudes of the Nanyue Kingdom. From its grand layout, one can imagine the prosperity of the Nanyue Kingdom in the past. Every detail contains the code of history.
