China: Treasures of the Jade Empire - Secret History

Over 1000 years ago robbers broke into a Royal Tomb in Eastern China but they left behind something priceless. The Emperors of the Han Dynasty led a life of unimaginable wealth and sophistication. It was China's Golden Age, rivalling Rome and built on trade along the Silk Road they founded. In their search for immortality they built magnificent mausoleums where they were entombed like mummies in jade suits. Now archaeologists are using cutting edge technology to open up these spectacular tombs. They are finding rare evidence of gold, silk and precious jewels – and a vast new terracotta army – this time in miniature and naked. This newly found abandoned treasure helps to unravel the secrets of the dynasty that made modern China. (Viasat)
