1968
In 1968 workers digging an air raid shelter for a hospital in China stumbled on the tombs of Li Chang, the Chancellor of the Changsha Kingdom, during the Western Han dynasty of ancient China and his wife Xin Zhui also known as Lady Dai, a noblewoman. A young man was also buried there and is believed to have been their son. Her remarkably preserved remains were buried in four pine boxes of varying sizes one inside the other and wrapped in twenty layers of fabric tied with silk. She died of a heart attack sometime in 168 or 169 BC at the age of around fifty.
I refrained from sharing a photo of the actual body and opted for a wax reconstruction of her face.
