GGG Ping.

"DNA analysis of bones found near the tomb of Emperor Qin Shihuangdi (r. 247-221 B.C.) shows the remains belonged to a Persian man, likely a captive forced to work on the emperor's tomb (see "Worker from the West"). "

I believe this guy was a resident.

DNA analysis of bones found near the tomb of Emperor Qin Shihuangdi (r. 247-221 B.C.) shows the remains belonged to a Persian man, likely a captive forced to work on the emperor's tomb (see "Worker from the West")."

When leaer Tom Tan learned of this, he said a Great Wall must be built.

I was wondering about that too.

After all she is our "living fossil" in Congress and she is always surprised by everything she sees or hears.

Archaeologists were given credit for the discovery, even here on the FReeper site. There was considerable digging involved.

Besides, each of the other sites discovered were all of religious nature, albeit now defunct religions.
