Dingling Underground Palace 定陵地宫

Excavation works began in 1956. More than 3000 artifacts and the remains of Emperor Wanli and his two empresses were found in the tomb. Unfortunately, the archaeologists did not have the technology or adequate resources to preserve them. As a result most were damaged or deteriorated. The tomb is now empty.
