Wei And Jin Dynasties Ancient Tombs Site Museum - Kuqa City

This photo taken on July 15, 2024. An underground museum of the Wei and Jin dynasties (220-420) ancient tombs opened on Monday in Kuqa County, an area that previously belonged to the ancient Qiuci State. The Qiuci State, which commenced in the second century BC and existed for more than 1,000 years, was one of the 36 states in the Western Regions, a term used in the Han Dynasty (206 BC-220 AD) for areas west of the Yumen Pass, including present Xinjiang and parts of Central Asia. This in-situ museum with an exhibition space of 5,000 square meters was built to protect 15 brick tomb chambers discovered in 2007 during the construction of the Youyi Road underground pass. The discovery was one of China's top ten new archaeological discoveries that year. The tomb complex was built in consistence with the Han Dynasty style brick-chambered tombs found in the central China region and along the Hexi Corridor, stretching over a distance of nearly 1,000 kilometers in northwest China's Gansu Province, which is home to fiv
