Step into a time capsule of China's Han Dynasty (202 BC–220 AD) with the new documentary Mawangdui, now streaming! 🎥 The three-part series explores the legendary tombs near Changsha in Hunan Province, where over 3,000 relics—including the eerily preserved mummy of Lady Xin Zhui—were discovered. Think of it as an Indiana Jones adventure meets a history class you'll actually want to attend. 🏺✨
The site, nestled by the Liuyang River, served as the burial ground for the Marquis of Dai's family. Alongside silk textiles and herbal medicines, the tombs revealed painted scrolls and lacquerware that offer a vivid snapshot of ancient life. The documentary uses CGI and expert interviews to decode how these treasures survived 2,000 years. As netizens buzz about the 'best-preserved mummy ever,' the series proves history is anything but boring. 🔍🌿
