Number and discovery of ancient tombs

According to expert research, the total number of tombs in China is estimated to be between 3 million and 5 million. As of 2020, more than 14,000 archaeological excavations have been carried out across the country, and 1.1667 million cultural relics have been unearthed.

A large ancient tomb that has not yet been excavated

‌The Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin is located in Lintong District, Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province, with a total area of 56.25 square kilometers. The terracotta warriors and horses and jewelry burial objects unearthed in the early stage are just the tip of the iceberg. However, because the underground palace is too deep and contains a large amount of mercury, the protection technology is immature, and it has not yet been fully excavated. ‌.

Qianling Mausoleum, the joint tomb of Empress Wu Zetian and Tang Gaozong Li Zhi, is located in Qian County, Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province. The total area of the cemetery is 2.3 million square meters. Due to immature protection technology, it has not yet been fully excavated.

‌Ming Xiaoling Tomb, the joint tomb of Empress Ma and Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, is located in Xuanwu District, Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province. Due to the winding passages and strong magnetic field, it has not yet been excavated‌.
