Final resting place of a 27-day emperor
Liu He, grandson of Emperor Wu, the greatest ruler of ancient China's Han Dynasty, was found to be the main tomb's owner.
According to historical records, Liu He became Prince of Changyi when his father died. Thirteen years later when Liu was 19, he was established as emperor after his uncle Emperor Zhao died without heir. However, he was deposed for incompetence after only 27 days. It was about 10 years later that Emperor Xuan made Liu the Marquis of Haihun. He died at the age of 33 and was buried at today's Nanchang, Jiangxi Province.
