Footage has emerged from China of four ancient royal 'limousines' being excavated in a funerary pit in tomb of Lords of Zheng State, a vassal state during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period.
The video, captured in Zhengzhou City in Henan Province on October 25, shows an archaeologist using a brush to clean the more than 2400-year-old relic carefully.
At least 90 horses and four chariots were found buried in the tomb.
The leader of Henan Provincial Institute of Cultural Heritage and Archaeology Ma Juncai said 'The chariot is the largest and most extravagant one so far in the excavation site'.
