Maoling, Imperial tomb complex in Xingping, China
The Maoling Mausoleum stands 47 meters tall with a rectangular base measuring 222 by 217 meters, forming a trapezoidal tumulus of rammed earth.
The construction of this imperial burial site began in 139 BC and continued for 53 years, consuming one-third of the Han Dynasty court's annual revenue.
The mausoleum contains over 4,100 cultural artifacts, including the largest gilded horse discovered in China, representing Han Dynasty burial traditions.
The Maoling Museum, located one kilometer from the main site, displays fourteen national historical relics and thousands of cultural items from the tomb.
Geophysical studies conducted in 1985 detected gold deposits in the soil, indicating the presence of ancient precious materials within the burial complex.
