SHIJIAZHUANG, May 9 (Xinhuanet) -- Archeologists recently discovered an ancient group of tombs of considerable size, containing three tombs from the Han Dynasty (206 BC - 220 AD) and four from the Tang Dynasty (618-907), in Xuanhua County of north China's Hebei Province.

    Archeologists said the group of tombs were found at a construction site. Several tombs lost their top parts, which were apparently taken by grave looters.

    An official from the relics and antiques protection bureau of Xuanhua County said the tomb cluster was first found in the countyseat by a construction team. Enditem
