Unearthed 2,000 Year Old Wine from Han Dynasty Tomb
“It smells like wine,” said the head of Luoyang’s Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology.
Archaeologists were working on an excavation site in Luoyang, Henan when they unearthed a jar containing what appeared to be 2,000-year-old Chinese wine. Scientists at the excavation site discovered a bronze-colored jar from the Western Han Dynasty tomb containing 3.5 liters of clear yellow liquid. As soon as the archaeologists opened the lid, the contents gave off a rich aroma of alcohol, according to Xinhua News Agency.

Chinese archaeologists uncover 2,000-year-old secret to everlasting life

Head of the Luoyang City Cultural Relics and Archaeology Research Institute Jiazhen Shi spoke about the discovery of 3.5 litres (7.3 pints) of what is known as 'the Elixir of Immortality', in Luoyang on Monday.
The liquid was reportedly found inside a 2,000-year-old bronze pot in a tomb in Luoyang, along with jade ware, bronze artifacts and painted clay pots.
According to experts, the liquid is mainly comprised of potassium nitrate and alunite, which are the ingredients often encountered in ancient scriptures on immortality.
The 200-square-metre (2,150 sq ft) tomb is said to belong to a noble family from the Western Han Dynasty, dating back to between 202 BC to 8 AD.

Archaeologists Discovered 2000 Year Old ‘Elixir’ Belong To Han Dynasty
A Mysterious potion discovered in an ancient Chinese tomb was brewed to grant eternal life to whoever drank it.
Scientists say the elixir was hidden within a 2,000-year-old bronze pot lodged in a burial chamber in central China.
The tomb belonged to a noble family who lived in the country's Henan province during the Han dynasty (206 BC–220 AD), a time when China was merging into a regional superpower.
Ancient Taoist literature suggests the doomed family brewed it in an attempt to live forever, Xinhua news agency reports.
Chinese emperors and noblemen spent thousands of years searching for a recipe for an elixir of immortality, often to deadly effect.
It's not clear, however, whether the ancient Henan family ever drank their potentially magical broth.
Around 3.5 litres of the liquid were found during excavations of their tomb in October.
Archaeologists initially thought it was liquor due to its strong alcoholic smell.
But lab tests revealed the potion is largely made up of potassium nitrate and alunite – which certainly aren't good for you in high quantities.
The unusual ingredients turned out to be those used to make an immortality medicine mentioned in an ancient Taoist text, according to Pan Fusheng, a top archaeologist on the project.
It is the first time that mythical 'immortality medicines' have been found in China, said Shi Jiazhen, head of China's Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology in the Henan city of Luoyang.
The liquid is of significant value for the study of ancient Chinese thoughts on achieving immortality and the evolution of Chinese civilisation, Shi added.
A large number of colour-painted clay pots, jadeware and bronze artifacts were also unearthed from the tomb, as well as the remains of the occupants.
The tomb provides valuable material for study of the life of Western Han nobles as well as the funeral rituals and customs of the period, Pan said.
The find could shed light on China's ancient alchemy practices, which remain shrouded in mystery to this day.
Chinese alchemists began making immortality potions as early as 3,000 years ago.
Despite common knowledge that immortality potions could be deadly, chemists continued to make them until the 18th Century.
They were particularly popular during the Han dynasty, when Emperor Wu employed many alchemists who claimed to possess the highly sought after recipe.

Once deep in the heart of the Chinese state of Gansu , on the outskirts of Zhangye are the Amazing Matisi Cave Temples. Carved out of solid rock face a group of 7 grottos hold holy relics and wonderful wall paintings and beautiful sculptures of the Buddha.

Ancient Earthquake Machine Found In China
Many inventions found throughout the world have their origins set in the far east, many machines that different nations claim as their own, can often be found to have primitive traces of development many centuries earlier within China.
And our next artefact is no exception.
Dating back over 2000 years, this rare and enigmatic piece of once very high technology, can only be seen as a demonstration of their superior ingenuity.
It seems the invention of the first seismoscope can be traced back to 132 AD, when a Chinese inventor called Zhang Heng perfected a device remarkably accurate at detecting earthquakes, even from afar.
Although the ancient Chinese did not fully understand the causes of earthquakes, they did see it as very important to keep track of such events, perceiving these disturbances with cosmic yin and yang.
It was therefore important for the Chinese emperor to be alerted of any earthquakes occurring anywhere in their kingdom.
Zhang's ingenious seismoscope was almost 6 feet across and made of solid bronze, decorated with Eight dragons marking compass directions, within each dragon's mouth, was a small bronze ball, and beneath, sat eight bronze toads.
A mechanism within would somehow detect an earthquake occurring in the distance, this would then cause a ball to dropout of one of the eight dragons mouths.
What is fascinating regarding Zhangs invention, is the fact that no one seems to be able to figure out for a certainty how it worked…
One theory is that a thin stick was set loosely down the centre of the barrel. When an earthquake occurred, a stick would topple over in the direction of the seismic shock.
The dragons mouth would open, releasing a bronze ball which would strike one of the eight toads, indicating the direction of origin.
According to legend, when Chang first shown his invention to the emperor, it indicated that a quake had occurred to the west of Luoyang, the capital city at the time. A few days later, a messenger from the region arrived reporting that there had indeed been an earthquake there.
Around the time Zhangs machine had indicated.
When specialists first realised what the machine was, they struggled to believe that this 2000-year-old invention could actually work...
So in 2005, scientists in Zengzhou China used it to detect several earthquakes, the seismoscope detected all of them. In fact, the data gathered from this 2000-year-old machine, corresponded with that gathered by modern-day seismometers!
A marvellous machine left to us by a once ingenious civilization.
