A 1,500-year-old ancient tomb has been discovered in China and the remains of a general were found laying beside his princess wife. However, the unearthing of the Chinese General's ancient tomb also revealed some information about a mysterious dynasty that existed in China.

The Daily Mail reported that the other artifacts which were found in the tomb where 80 colorful figurines buried together with the couple. The burial site was found near the ancient city of Jinyang in the proximity of the  Shanxi Province.

There were about 100 items or more that were discovered at the burial site. The different figurines were in the shape of camels, warriors, oxcarts, soldiers and female servants.

The historical artifacts shed some light on the history of the  Northern Qi Dynasty that existed in 550 AD to 557 AD. The body remains, along with the figurines, revealed about the lifestyle and burial traditions of the short-lived dynasty.

In a report by The Telegraph, the general's name was Zhao Xin and his wife was Princess Neé Liu as it appeared on the tomb's inscriptions. The site was initially dug by local archeologists sometime between 2012 to 2013.

The tomb's inscriptions revealed more about the life of the two bodies. General Zhao died at the age of 67 and rose in ranks three times in his lifetime. Princess Liu was the daughter of king Cong Ming. Zhao died earlier than Liu but her body was buried together with her husband when she died.

An interesting fact is that general Zhao wasn't found in any of the historical record books in China. This means that the discovery would provide more information about the military history of the Norther Qi dynasty.

Archeologists haven't really given a detailed description of the two body remains. There's no clear information also about the deaths but the site's location may symbolize something.
