A joint expedition of Mongolian and Kazakh archeologists has reported finding a rare tomb after an excavation in Bayannuur soum of Bulgan aimag.
The tomb may date from the sixth or seventh century.
The tomb is contained in a 40-meter long corridor 13 meters below ground. It is believed to be the tomb of a significant person of nobility. Drawings on the wall are well preserved. The wooden doors to the tomb contain golden decorations and have also been well preserved. Archeologists say they are amazed that the doors have not rotted.
