2,400 year old pot of soup. WTF?!
A Xian pot of soup from 2,400 years ago was found in a tomb. The 2,400 year old bronze vessel was found near the capital of Xian. Archaeologists also believe they found a container of wine.
"It's the first discovery of bone soup in Chinese archaeological history," the Global Times quoted Liu Daiyun of the Shaanxi Provincial Institute of Archaeology as saying.
"The discovery will play an important role in studying the eating habits and culture of the Warring States Period (475-221 BC)."
The tomb was being excavated to make way for an airport extension, the report said.
Scientists were expected to conduct further tests to confirm the liquid was indeed soup and to identify the ingredients.
The tomb could have held the body of either a member of the land-owning class or a low-ranking military officer, archaeologists said.
The terracotta army figures were found near Xiang in 1974 at the burial site of Qin Shihuang, China's first emperor.
The find was made when Liu took the lid off a round, three-legged bronze cauldron. To his amazement it was half-full of liquid. He said: “When I opened the lid, I was really shocked."
