China's first long-lived empire, the Han (206 B.C. - A.D. 220), is known for its richly furnished tombs - the Flying Horse of Gansu, silks and lacquer of the "pickled" Lady Dai, the jade burial suit of prince Liu Sheng and the awesome necropolises of the Han sovereigns. Join us as we explore some of the most significant archaeological finds of the last century as an introduction to one of China's great ages.
