According to the initial archeological research, it is highly probable that the tombs owner is Liu Kang, Prince Gong of the Western Han Dynasty.This tomb, 29.5 meters long and 28.5 meters wide, was discovered nearby the Lingsheng Lake, Dingtao County. Its excavation pit is almost a square.The experts found bricks piled up around the tomb carved with designs or Chinese characters written in official script and seal script.What is more surprising that the colour of these Chinese characters still maintain their bright red colour even after some 2000 years.
